My daughter is home from college and picked up a summer job working concessions at Presque Isle. I had just dropped her off at Beach 11 and spotted this snapper crossing the road.
I parked the truck and picked him/her up and carried across street to the marsh and released without incident.

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."
