A new birth snapping turtle getting ready for it's first winter.
The bottom of the wetlands is it's location of choice.
But first it has to make it across a recently "tarred and gravelled" road.
Many of the turtles didn't survive the untimely road maintenance this year.
Vehicles are a huge hazard every year but the gravel and tar greatly added to their challenges.
The township has been advised and hopefully will consider the turtles yearly cycle in years to come.

Thanks for posting this info Dad; makes me think a little more about the timing of what we do to make 'our' world a better place, and how it affects these little ones and others.
