Three-Toed Turtle - E. of Mokane, MO - Turtle Crossings on Waymarking.com

County of crossing: Callaway County
Location of crossing: MO-94, about ½ mile E. of Mokane

Cruseing down MO-94, headed for the supposed site of an old AME church (African Methodist Episcopal) I spotted this little guy frozen in the highway.
I blocked the highway with my car, got out, took the shy fellows photo and air lifted him to the grass (of course in the same direction he was already going).

This little guy is so young he has yet to acquire the color on his shell, the small markings were there...but almost no color.
And yes, he is a Three-Toed, not a Common Box turtle...

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."
