Don't rock the island, we're already over the limit

Backs turned like solar panels to maximize the energy, the turtles seemed oblivious to the duck pair.

A mallard drake and hen squeezed onto our floating island this afternoon, finding space amongst the eleven or more turtles already sunning there.
The island has proved a popular spot since we launched it in the pond behind our house last fall, perhaps because it affords a little protection from predation.
It also provides a nice vantage point to watch the humans watching them.
