When I lived in California I had 2 canyons, 1 in my front yard and 1 in my back yard. We also had a hummingbird nest next to our window. The hummingbird laid two eggs. One of the eggs fell from the nest and broke on the ground.
Me and my mom once went on a hike in the back canyon. We found a big alligator lizard and I caught it. It was about a foot long. Then we walked over a bridge and we saw a lizard on it and I caught that too. We went up a little bit more and I found a turtle on the ground. We raced back down to my house with the turtle in my hands and looked on the computer to see if there was a pond nearby. The audobon society near our house had a pond and we brought the turtle there. There weren't any turtles at the pond except the one I brought. A month later I came back and there were about 10 turtles at the pond and it might have been because the turtle I brought had laid eggs.

Did you ever learn what kind of turtle it was? I wish I had known you in California. Your home there sounds like a young naturalist's paradise.
