A sure sign of spring; the snapping turtles have emerged from the swamps and are laying their eggs in the soft sand at the road's edge.

This little guy is going to get run over if he/she doesn't get a move on. Two cars went by in the opposite direction and didn't slow down a bit, so I decided to help him/her along.

Lucky for me I had been digging up small trees on my brother's property and had buckets in my car. Though it was a little turtle, it was fierce, and those snapping jaws can do some damage! It seemed to know exactly what was up, though, because when I set the black bucket down, it crawled right inside. I slid the blue bucket over it and moved the critter to the side of the road it was headed, into the swamps.

off he or she goes...

From the looks of it, a few other snappers have been laying eggs in this spot.

laying her eggs

A smaller snapping turtle laying eggs on the roadside. I stayed with her until she was finished, because sometimes people like to be jerks and deliberately run over turtles. This one finished her business and went directly back into the swamp, safe and sound.

This little guy was trying to cross the road, so I helped him along so he wouldn't get run over.

Not the greatest shot; I didn't want to get too close for obvious reasons. I caught one of these suckers fishing once, and boy are they cranky! Plus, you'd be surprised at how fast these turtles can move. This one was across the road and into the swamp on the other side in the blink of an eye.

I've got a long way to go, and a short time to get there

Spotted this painted turtle crossing the parking lot at work - probably a female that was returning to the water after laying her eggs.
