Good news!
Good for him. I found a very large turtle this week that had been washed down from who knows where(lots of rain/flooding in these parts recently) and was crossing a busy street in Addison, TX. This guy was about the size of my steering wheel...anyway I stopped my vehicle and picked him up and drove back home to Arlington and released him to a lake.
I know how he felt, seeing an injured bird. I remember driving on a 4 lane highway when a mama duck and seven little ducklings just jumped off the curb, and started accross the street, heading for a lake on the other side. There were five of us in the car, and we all jumped out and covered all the lanes with our arms outspread, until mama and kids got accross safely. Good feeling.
