rambling about turtles under the cut

You can say that maybe we shouldn't help them, and let nature take its course. But the problem is that so many of them just wander right into traffic, I see them flattened so often, it's such a shame. I picked these two up and a minute later a motorcycle passed right where they were sitting. Their population is significantly declining throughout their range due to people and vehicles.

It's amazing how many of them we have here though. Last fall we were hiking in this area and there were dug up and ravaged turtle nests all over the place, eggs eaten. Nice to see that some survived and succesfully hatched after all.
