New Turtlesinger Calendar 2021 and 2020 Events Links!



Happy World Turtle Day! The picture you saw to get here is just one of the fabulous turtles we’ve seen around the world (that wonderful face is of a Galapagos tortoise at the Honolulu Zoo). Our new Turtlesinger Calendar link shows pictures of all the turtles in the calendar if you scroll down! Our 2021 Calendar will be our 19th Turtlesinger Calendar, featuring photos by award-winning photographer and Turtletoter Charlie Buckley, of turtles from around the world! We’ve also added our 2020 Events Link. Good news and bad news, bad news first: the bad news is you will see if you scroll through our list how our participation in so many events has been wiped out this year due to Covid-19. The good news is there are still some events listed that we may be able to do, and more good news is that our new turtle reading program lasts all year! More about May 23rd below…

May 23rd is not only World Turtle Day, but also: Bob Smeltzer's birthday!



This is an opportunity to not only wish Bob a Happy Birthday but to thank him for his support to Turtlesinger, Inc. over the years. Smeltzer & Sons continues to provide our turtle, Rocky, with fresh mealworms—his favorite food—at Turtlesinger shows, and also provides us with sunflower seeds to fill our bird feeder for our cats, Ollie and Wally (we call it “Audubon T.V.”). We’d also like to thank Bob’s son, Tim, for caring for turtles and helping them cross the roads. Pictured left is a turtle Tim called to tell us about that he found in his yard. Three cheers for all turtle helpers on World Turtle Day and Bob’s birthday! We’re going to start asking you questions in each blog. Today’s question on World Turtle Day is: can you identify the turtle pictured on the left? AND also on World Turtle Day…read on about our new Turtlesinger Challenge (winner gets a turtle prize)…

Announcing our first Turtlesinger Challenge!



Your challenge is to click on the link to our Turtlesinger Calendar, scroll down to the pictures on the calendar, (shown smaller on the left) and IDENTIFY each of the 12 turtles for each month listed (and if you hover over each picture on the link, the turtles slowly get larger)! You have 2 weeks from today, World Turtle Day (May 23rd), to email your answers by pushing the Feedback button on the right side of the page. Please list each month and the kind of turtle you think is pictured for the month. The person who identifies the most turtles correctly wins a turtle prize! Contest ends at midnight, June 6th! Please note: THIS CONTEST IS OPEN TO ALL TURTLE LOVERS: NOT JUST KIDS! 😉 Good luck, and thanks again for reading!
