Today's walk was a delight.  More than one couple pointed out no less than three nesting turtles. The turtles had crossed the path and found places to dig between the blacktop path and the forest line.Each was digging.  Not fast, and not without stopping at the sight of passing walkers, but digging and not moving from their respective nests.
I left the park just after sundown, but the turtles were still digging.  I suspect the nests will be complete with eggs by tomorrow morning.
