Notes:
Large, very heavy female turtle was by the side of the road - parallel to the road. I could not tell what direction she was heading - and I know there are lakes on both sides of Baileywick Rd. I made the assumption she lived in the lake on the south side - and was crossing to the north side to lay her eggs. I moved her across the street to the north side. (I found her dead, hit by a car, the next day in the same spot - with egg shells scattered about,)
