Tree is Company

Here is a great egret (Ardea alba) and a couple of turtles on a log that I saw on the Red River flowing through Shreveport, Louisiana. I’m not certain of the turtle species but I think they may be two different species of turtle. Perhaps the turtle at the bottom is a red-eared slider, and the one closest to the egret a pond slider, but I’m mostly guessing. If you happen to be able to identify the turtle species, please share.
My gallery contains more that 700 images that I’ve chosen to share. Most are there for their visual appeal but there are a few novelty images. You can check out my gallery at:
