Last year, I watched a 2+ foot long Snapping Turtle lay a clutch of about five eggs on the edge of Sapsucker Woods, where the trails cross from one side to the other and where it was sandy. I contacted a herpatologist from SUNY Cortland (former professor) and asked if it was a Snapping Turtle if I should try to move it to the other side of the road where it looked like it was going. He said to let it be and hope for the best! It hissed when I came close to it anyway.
Subject: Blue-winged Warbler singing on Sapsucker Woods Rd From: Anne Marie Johnson <[email protected]> Date: Thu, 2 Jun 2016 12:44:46 +0000 X-Message-Number: 2 There's a Blue-winged Warbler singing on Sapsucker Woods Road right across from the visitor entrance to the Lab. There is also a turtle digging into the dirt at the edge of the pavement on the same side of the street as the visitor entrance, to the right of the entrance. Is it planning to lay eggs there?!
