I placed 10 posters along this 1.5 mile stretch of road. I monitored the road and still picked up 110 dead terrapin hatchlings (overwintering hatchlings) through the month of April into May when the largest 'migration' occurs. This was about the same as last spring (2018) but people did seem to be driving more slowly and I saw more people carrying the turtles - it is hard to know how many made it across Bay Ave. </div><div><br></div><div>I've brought the yard signs in for the 'season' (all 10 were recovered in spite of spring storms) and I will put them out when the late summer hatchlings begin their crossing. I can send a higher resolution image to individuals who want a better look at this.</div><div><br></div><div>Suzette Noecker (Bloom 415) from Ocean View DE designed the signs and got permission from the 'Turtle Conservancy' to use their image and they are credited in the O in the word 'Crossing'.</div><div>carol</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, May 20, 2019 at 9:00 PM Chambers, Randolph M <<a href="mailto:rmcham@wm.edu" target="_blank">rmcham@wm.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">We've got nest crawls on the York River--tributary to the Chesapeake Bay--here in Virginia.<br>
