It's always good to hear of people who will take time to move turtles off the road as this is getting to be one of the worst causes of turtle population declines in North America. I spend a lot of time canoeing in turtle habitats up here in Canada, and apart from the Eastern Painted turtles, I'm encountering less and less turtles in waterways near human populations. I suspect that between habitat destruction from shoreline development, and turtles having to run the gauntlet by crossing roads to get to or from nesting areas, they just aren't doing very well. I just received an email from someone in one of the nature organizations which I belong to. This is what he wrote: ...the newly released COSEWIC (Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada) ranks ALL of Ontario's turtles, except for the Painted, Snapping and Blanding's, as now at risk nationally. The details: Wood Turtle -- Special Concern Spotted T -- same Map T -- same Spiny Softshell -- Threatened Musk -- same So, Mrs. Peel. Keep moving those turtles. I'm curious about the bad turtle karma, but maybe I wouldn't want to hear about it!! (o: croc
