This juvenile Common Box Turtle was crossing Heaston Road, moving west to east, about six miles southwest of Okarche. This little turtle was fearless and did not retreat into his (her?) shell when I approached, only doing so when I picked him (her?) up for a close up.
Any time you see a turtle cross a road away from water in Oklahoma, it's almost certainly either a Common Box Turtle or a Red-Eared Slider. This one was the former species.

Describe what happened. Example
"Mother Blanding had made her nest between the goldenrod and bluestem outside my window late last June.
By chance we were sitting on the porch when we noticed little blandings in the same location we had seen the mother take 2 months earlier."
