This afternoon, I was cleaning out the skimmer filter net in my backyard pond, and I found two baby turtles hanging out inside. I was able to grab one for a photo op, and after a few minutes in my hand, he (or she) got brave enough to walk around. A friend of mine just told me it's an Eastern Woodlands Slider. He's welcome in my pond for now (until he's big enough to start eating my koi) and I'm just delighted I had a chance to see this tiny little visitor!
