Turtles in Jewel Lake

Caption

Turtles bask in the sun at Jewel Lake in Northern California's Tilden Regional Park. In the middle, a western pond turtle, one of California's few native turtles, holds up it's head, and on the far right sits an invasive red-eared slider turtle, which can be identified by the characteristic red stripe on the side of its head.
