Very smart. And also very sweet. He sees everything we do, and He is smiling at you right now.

If they're moved /returned to the wrong area, they will continue to wander looking for their "right" place endlessly.

That was very kind of you, and I'm glad you didn't get too close!

How did you get it into the shovel? Good choice for the move but am wondering how you convinced it to take the ride.

Thanks for sharing, and for being such a good friend to these slow-moving creatures. You made my morning, but I already had my coffee ...

Good save! We have gopher turtles on our property and they're protected by the feds. One of them hisses at my husband when he mows with the tractor! So they (turtles) can be mean when scared or protecting themselves...so glad you got this one back to its habitat without either of you being hurt! Enjoyed hearing your story and seeing the pictures. :-)

I dragged it with a garden rake!

I think they could bite. Keep hands and fingers away.

I have 4 baby blue birds in the greenhouse. About $100.00 in meal worms. This a.m. they are flapping wings and perching on a branch. I've read up on them. The father died in a storm and robins chased the mother away. I waited 40 hours before I brought them in. Still no mother and that was a week ago. I sure hope I can raise them.

I was so glad to see those pictures. We seen one similar a few years ago. We kept hearing our dogs barking, and went out back to see what it was. It had roamed from a water area that is hid away from our house in the woods where no one ever goes.

God blessed you with inspiration!!!

Well done for being a Hero to this creature and for sharing the pictures.
