It's a Bird! IT's a Turtle!

We were having dinner on the deck when Eric spotted something dark on the other side of the brook. We fetched our binoculars and abandoned our food for a few minutes to watch a large turtle walk around on the grass and then eventually go back to the water. Too far away to get any kind of markings (and I wasn't able to be faster than the turtle with my race to go get my zoom lens). SO, here's a list of CT Turtles and we'll just have to guess what kind it is.
