This is a painted turtle, we saw it in the road and moved it to the side it was facing. There is a lot of traffic on this road.
We are showing 2 photos of the turtle in the road and one of a similar turtle in the pond where it was heading (same species).
This is a very common turtle in our area. They are often seen basking on logs. We saw a muskrat and killdeer this day.

Describe what happened. Example
"Mother Blanding had made her nest between the goldenrod and bluestem outside my window late last June.
By chance we were sitting on the porch when we noticed little blandings in the same location we had seen the mother take 2 months earlier."
