Why did the turtle cross the road? Only the turtle can answer that question. This red-eared slider (one of the most commonly encountered turtles in this part of the country) was westbound across County Line Road, a bit north of NW 220th Street, in search of whatever turtles search for on the other side. I helped him across and he gave me a good hiss or two for my trouble, but was then too timid to come out for another photo.

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."
