Temps have been hot. June has been dry. Usually a wet month, June is on pace to be one of the driest ever.
Despite the dry conditions, June is still a month of growth. Baby birds are chirping, and the plants are growing. However, for anyone mowing their lawn the grass is not responding by growing back strong.
Animals are moving about, and none have been as present to Larry Weber as snapping turtles. The turtles are digging along roadsides to lay eggs. If you're driving about, keep your eyes open. "Even though a snapping turtle is well fortified with a hard shell they can't take anything of the traffic," says Weber.
