This time of the year in New England you always see a large spike in road kill with our wildlife. Stop with your 4 ways on in a safe area and assist the many turtles to their favorite vernal pond or egg laying area. The last 5 years I have noticed a large increase of wild 2 year old beaver that have been forced out of the lodge by a new litter of beaver to raise by mom and dad. Wildlife professionals can re-locate any problem beavers that try to establish a new territory. The beaver also faces the increasing coyote and bobcat attacks increase when they are on land or crossing the many roadways. When on hard water this winter ice fishing or reporting on derbies I noticed a pattern of coyote tracks in fresh snow checking every lodge to see if they could grab a quick meal. Some people dislike the snapping turtles and other species but must understand in the big picture they play a vital part in natures balance. Remember the animals were here before we arrived and we are on their turf !
