A couple of years ago we stop in at a chainsaw carver's studio, the Mrs. falls in love with this turtle, so of course it comes home with us. We find a place for it in the back of our backyard. Soon thereafter a Pileated Woodpecker finds the turtle easy peckins by pecking away a sizable portion of the turtle's shell, tail and front left foot necessitating a concrete repair job. It now appears the Pileated Woodpeckers have left evidence that they're once again back at it . . . and in addition to that, are now raising a small brood of backups!
