Last year as I drove on Sapsucker Wd. Rd. from Rt. 13 to the SSW Visitor parking lot, just before the turn into parking area, on the east side of road, I spied a small snapping turtle ambling away from an excavated pile of gravely soil at the road edge. I assumed it was a nest of eggs in the gravel. I parked nearby and shooed the turtle off the road. This isn't the best location for baby turtles to hatch. Perhaps we could make gravel or sand areas near the SSW ponds that are away from the road.

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?!
