Rescued Box Turtle - a photo on Flickriver

Rescued Box Turtle

            As I was driving home from work yesterday evening I noticed this beautiful little box turtle friend walking in the gutter between the curb & road on a heavily trafficked street...  no way out for him because of the height of the curb.  It was a shocking sight. There was also no where to pull the car over so I kept going, found the closest pull-off, and sprinted back half a mile in hopes he had not wandered into traffic.  Luckily, when I arrived he was still in the gutter area now completely trapped & retracted.  Poor little fella.  Typically when rescuing box turtles I put them back in the woods as close as I can to where I found them, but this area was so heavily trafficked it just didn't seem like a good idea.  So instead, he joined me as a carpool companion, and I dropped him off this evening at the local woods / nature area that I frequent across the way.  Probably not ideal, but I do believe it's his best hope of carrying on, and for now at least he's safe.  Good luck little friend.  :)  -H3
