Our favorite backyard turtle has returned from brumation!
This is at least the 4th year we have had this turtle return to our yard. We call her May because the pattern near the front of her shell looks like it spells out "MAY".
She was a little too shy to eat my from hand this morning, but here are some videos from last year showing how friendly she can be:

Just to get ahead of the comments, we only occasionally give her a small piece of fruit as I know turtles shouldn't have too much sugar. We have had a pretty sizeable population of box turtles in our yard over the years, but she is by far the friendliest.
