While canoeing in the salt marsh on the Crisfield CBC, we stopped at 
an unused duck blind.   At the blind, we found 3 diamondback terrapin 
shells, one in the blind and 2 next to it.  They were fresh enough to 
still have some odor about them.  There may have been more - these 
were just conspicuous.  Later we remembered that there had been 
eagles sitting on the blind earlier in the day, and began to wonder 
if the 2 items were connected.  Do eagles hunt terrapins?  While they 
are tasty, there isn't much there and it hardly seems worth their while.
