Species Account:
Near Cress creek between the river and the canal. The Chrysemys picta was sunning itself on a log in a pond fed by the river. The Chrysemys picta was shinny black with yellow stripes on the neck. There were 3 other turtles of unknow species and of various sizes. When we returned home I searched for "Black turtle, Idaho" and the search result came back with the painted turtle. I looked up the pictures and they matched the turtle that we observed.
