To add to the animal sightings, I saw a snapping turtle at the side of the road earlier this week. I wasn't sure if it wanted to cross or had just finished crossing as it was across the road from the lake but because it was a snapping turtle, I wasn't going to be a nice guy and carry it across the road (a Blandings turtle I would have, snapper, no!). And besides, moving across the road may have been the opposite direction it wanted to go anyway.
