Where abouts are you at in this video. Can't wait to see my first spotted turtle in habitat. They have been one of my favorite species since I was a kid

Great footage of a such a memorable day for me! Now I am really eager for early spring!

This is very interesting
Can individuals be identified by photos of the pattern of spots or color on plastrons? (Like photos of orcas in Pacific northwest?) Does anyone study the turtles and or band them or mark their carapace to study migration and life cycle?
