Our friend was just a few feet away from his goal, the north side of the Farm to Market road, but this is a fairly busy highway, near County Road 1449, and judging by oncoming vehicles, he wasn't going to make it. Scooped up and relocated to the brush, hopefully, he kept on going.

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."
