On 19 September 2000, at 1115 hours, a second adult male was found basking in the sun on the stony gravel shore, between overhanging sedges, just upstream from the bridge. At 1205 hours, just 10 m up- stream from the second adult male, a third adult male was found basking in the sun on the shore. J. G. photographed two adult females on a road bank. â H â â FIGURE 2.

She deposited six eggs and had completely covered them by 1000 hours (Cover). The second individual, a spent female, was found near Morleys Brook at 1030 hours.

This remarkably healed individ- ual passed nine Choke-cherry pits while being photo- graphed.
