My boys made wifie stop for a turtle on the side of the road. They picked it up and put it in the back of the car. They did a little research on the net and discovered it is a snapping turtle. (I told them they could have saved a lot of time researching it had they just put their nose close up to it...) They had it in a plastic bin with some water in it. Named him Turk. When I got home we talked about it and decided that we would bring over to Sprout Creek which runs next to the baseball field where our game was tonight. All of the siblings of our players walked with my older son to the creek in the right field and released Turk. While they were there they discovered a duck nest with two eggs in it. They excitedly described it as a grassy nest with some furry stuff and feathers that partially hid the eggs. They were big like chicken eggs but sort of spotty. Anyhow, I figured I'd start you off with our little brush with nature so you could return the volley. Do you think a creek is a good place for a snapping turtle or are they better off in a pond? -Clapper
