A Second Mississippi Map Turtle

While I was watching Mr. Personality, a 2nd Mississippi map turtle swam by. It never came out of the water so this was the best shot I could get. Still good enough to identify it. You can see the yellow markings behind the eyes that look like two hockey sticks. Looks like there is a nice population of map turtles at White Rock lake.
