This picture shows all that is left of a few snapping turtle eggs after they were discovered by one of their most popular predators, the fisher cat. Fishers smell out the newly made snapper nests and dig up the eggs as a snack. We try to find the nests and relocate them to a protected area as best as we can but unfortunately sometimes the fisher gets to them before we can. -LC
