Don't Let Turtles Play in a Road !

I found this Eastern Painted Turtle (Chrysemys picta) in Joyce Road near the driveway to our barn. The turtles are laying their eggs this time of year and his turtle must have just laid its eggs since it has fresh mud on the back of its shell.



We've had a couple of turtle/vehicle collisions in this section of road during the past week and the turtles are not winning. If you see a turtle in a road please move it to a safe location off the road.
