Tree 608
In all my years Maine, I have never seen a box turtle. They were quite commom father south where I grew up, having lugged several home to live in the backyard as child.
I caught this girl crossing the road, and pulled over to get her pic and shoo her off the road.
Once home I checked online, and discovered that Box turtles are endangered in Maine, the rarest reptile. The map shows a questionmark for possible range-there have only been a few sitings in the last twenty years, nowhere near where I saw this one.

They were obviously heading for trees wildlife reserve. The word is out that there is a safe place in Maine.
