Ryan and Will from the Conservation Commission arrived just after (impressively prompt dispatch!) We did not see a turtle in the wire cage. However, nearby I did see the muskrat in the attached photo, who thrashed about as I approached it but seemed stuck in place. On closer examination, its long tail seemed strangely entwined in stringy aquatic vegetation, as you can see in the photo. I was able to slide that stuff off its tail. It then swam away, at first with a strange corkscrew/twirling motion. Hard to tell whether that corkscrewing was in celebration of release or a dysfunctional swimming method that got it entwined in the first place. We watched as it swam around a bit, including into and out of the wire enclosure shown in Lindsay's photo. Ryan and Will judged it to be a small, presumably young, muskrat. When sticking its nose out of the wire enclosure, it looked a lot like the creature shown in Lindsay's photo, so maybe that's what was sighted? In any event, if the muskrat couldn't free itself from where I found it, I assume eventually it would have drowned or starved. So Lindsay's alert probably saved this creature - yea! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1egRj-dUXXYtzXi1NWkQnIeSZC-f_jbb2/view?usp=sharing On Thu, Oct 6, 2022 at 7:53 PM Annamaria San Antonio <victorygoddess...@gmail.com> wrote: Oh shoot! Surely it must be freed somehow. Where exactly was this? I will go tomorrow and see if there isn't some way to free it.~Jai On Thu, Oct 6, 2022 at 2:37 PM Nick & Lindsay CotterPong <cotterp...@gmail.com> wrote: Hi y’all- Is this turtle trapped?
