This Red-eared Slider had a hole dug and I think she is trying to lay eggs. I came across her at the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma. I don’t think she was in a suitable place for laying eggs because she was in one of the parking areas for launching boats. I took a few quick photos and then left her alone.
