Turtle Egg Laying Time at Eagle Manor

It’s that time again. The turtles are coming out of the creeks and swamps to lay their eggs. If you get lucky you might even see a Diamondback Terrapin which is a species of special concern.

Snapping Turtle

Snapping turtles come out of the creeks and swamps to dry land in order to lay their eggs which will hatch later in the summer.

Painted Turtle

Painted turtles come out of the creeks and swamps to dry land in order to lay their eggs which will hatch later in the summer.

Welcome to Eagle Manor!

Eagle Manor

Eagle Manor from the Mighty Cohansey River

It’s a very exciting time at the historic Eagle Manor estate! Renovations are well underway. We’re rehabilitating the outbuildings, painting the exterior and interior, redoing the kitchen and floors, landscaping, and putting in a new dock on the boathouse. We’re also getting the pasture ready for some goats, peacocks, and guinea fowl. The trap house is almost ready for our automatic trap launcher. We’ll also be stocking the back pond in a few weeks. Lots going on to get ready for our destination vacation and wedding clients.
