<p class="MsoNormal">Hello DTWG,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Yesterday, April 5, at ~4:30 p.m. an adult female diamondback terrapin was found DOR on the Jekyll Island Causeway due to automobile strikes. This animal was not a recapture. No eggshells recovered from the site, however, egg follicles
found on the road. In situations like these, we generally assume the animal crossed the road, nested successfully, and then was hit when attempting to cross again.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If this was a nesting foray, it would be the earliest we’ve documented since monitoring began (dating back to 2007).<u></u><u></u></p>
