@matty_pickles It’s live on ESPN2 currently

FYI the center court stream in app is showing the live match between Texas and NJ. The general 24/7 PBTV stream is showing the replay

@JimAlexa1976 @BWRiverkeeper @andrewrypel @AlabamaRivers @AlabamaWater @garyharris_wvua @HarmonyWx2023 @alwaterwatch @Dave_Nussbaum @blackwarriorlur @buzz_bama @BrendaLadun That’s an Alabama map turtle. Either a juvenile or an adult male because males don’t grow very big. Alabama has over 5 different species of map turtles in the state.

Happy #WorldTurtleDay! #Alabama has more #freshwater #turtle #species than any other state! This #FlattenedMuskTurtle photo is by Mark Bailey, a scientist on our Advisory Council.

@Charlie_Potter What about your in game updates?

I'll be here until they turn the lights off. But I'm also posting my stories over on Bluesky. Follow me there: bsky.app/profile/charli…

Here is a SEM photo of a diatom (I believe of the genus Luticola) that were sampled from a turtle shell. #diatoms #urbanturtles #alabamaisforturtles

A lot to learn, but I believe the diatom in the lower part of the picture is from the genus Encyonema.

Started a project with a student this summer looking at diatoms that are found on turtle carapaces

Alligator snapping turtle #6 for the season!

@CoosaRiverkeepr And a turtle researcher's best friend too!

Streamflow maps are a paddler's best friend! USGS offers real-time stream flow data for popular paddle spots in AL. Each dot is a monitoring location where you can find the current flow data & a historical comparison from a year ago. Save this page: waterwatch.usgs.gov/index.php?id=r…

There approximately 260 turtle species, and 15% of these species can be found in Alabama #alabamaisforturtles #nothernmapturtle

Chicken turtles are so interesting. This photo shows the long necks that this species has, which they utilize in their suction feeding to catch aquatic insects. Excited to have this new project with them. #alabamaisforturtles

Enjoyed talking with my good buddy, @MWindelspecht, about urban turtles. Give it a listen!

Ol male river cooter was about to have a bad end to his Monday if some nice people hadn’t stopped to usher him across the road. I scooped him up to get him back in a nearby creek. #urbanturtles #habitatfragmentation

@SwflTurtle @TheSnakeDude Hey @SwflTurtle I’d like a copy of it if possible!

Anyone have a PDF of Iverson and Lewis 2018. How to measure a turtle? It’s in Herp Review so is a pain in the butt to get without an SSAR membership…

Fecal samples can provide interesting data on feeding ecology of animals. But, when I recaptured AST #4000 back in June, she gave me a very interesting sample. It contained bones of a recently ingested adult stripe-necked musk turtle. #apexpredator #turtleseatingturtles

@RaptorH Done! Thanks!
