It's a painted turtle, not a wood turtle.
Keith Biologists here in Baxter state park say they are woods turtles.They come and count them every year.

I'm sure Bruce is right, but it looks like a painted turtle to me too. Maybe just called by a different name?

How does someone go about counting turtles? They check areas in blocks and count the wood turtles they find is what they told me.
