The purple Martins are in their little aprtments. The Oystercatcher looked like it was nesting right next to the road. I saw a small dark shape on the road. It was a box turtle. Some of its shell was scraped off on top, and its back leges were hanging out. We picked it up and it pulled in its legs. I think somone ran over it and it was still in shock. We put it in the grass. I hope it is OK.
NOn the way home the next day after the trip to find butterflies we stopped at Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge | U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. It was nice and empty becae34u of the weather. I liked the atmosphere.
We drove the circuit in Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge | U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service in February. There were thousands of Green-winged Teal and Snow Geese. The Hooded Mergansers looked startled by the Brant taking off.
