I recently moved to Slaughter Beach on Delaware Bay and was sadly surprised to see many young diamond-backed terrapin nestlings that have overwintered in our bayside yards, get hit by cars moving to the salt marsh across the street.  I am working with someone to design yard signs to put out when these guys are crossing so drivers get a sense of how small they are and watch for them.  I sent her an image of a nestling, but she must not have liked it and used an image of an adult.
