Last week our neighbors told us that a snapping turtle had made a nest between our pine trees so we went on a rescue mission to transplant Mr Turtle closer to the lake a few blocks away. It's hard to see here but he was a good foot and a half in length.
He was not very happy with the idea at first...
...and retreated into his shell in-between snapping at the stick Dan was trying to get him to grasp hold of.
We went with the trap him in a recycling bin and slip a cardboard under him trick.
This is about as close as Jack would get.
We loaded him up on the wagon and started our mission.
Released back into the wild.
Home sweet home.
On our way back we saw this mommy and her two fawns in our neighbors yard.
