Kevin’s Random Turtle Field Notes!

[@darlingdivine]

It's so hard when you love both the little birds and the things that will take advantage of these injured ones for food.

[@AqualeRougeSJ]

That's fantastic! I love how the schools are involved. What a wonderful way to educate AND teach love of conservation of these sweet little babies 🐢❤

[@carolinep.7580]

How about a sponsorship from a trail cam company?! Humans are much less likely to do awful things when there are cameras! I know it sucks to have to think like this, just an idea. Thank you for all you do for these turtles 🐢 ❤

[@bethannyallain5395]

I wish there was a program like the you're involved in out my way. I live in the Great Springfield, MA area. Loved the video as always. I am like you I hate seeing new commercial deveopments going in.

[@peggygray6071]

What an amazing video. Kevin, I like how you take your time and energy to go out and protect the wildlife. I wish there were more people like you.

[@jonathanyoungblood8676]

Ok so I was wondering how you guys came up with the # . You guys are doing great work and I wish more of us could do our part

[@tammyfrancis7856]

I can’t believe there are almost 900 views, but I was just the 146th to hit the like button. It’s a free way, those of us who are poor, can help Nerd. I always think, t’s the least I can do, since I watch often.

[@ziggy4465]

Always like that you’re out doing your thing with the local community wildlife. I would hope that is where it begins for any enthusiast.

[@learning2667]

Great video been a turtle watcher since a child . Thank you

[@johninnh4880]

Making a real positive difference. Woot!!!

[@ChiaraMainolfi]

You do my heart good. I used to protect turtle nests on my property. I thought I was the only one

[@dwendel8512]

Great video thanks for sharing what you do from these amazing creatures

[@lindaglover3321]

This was terrific. You are a wonderful environmentalist

[@dvlexotics2177]

I have conservation land in my back yard with lots of turtles that call the waters there home.

[@noopbloop5051]

In Plymouth, NH there were some swampy woods/flood plain that had a stream going through it that led to the Pemi River. It was maybe 2-3ft deep and 10ft wide and one spring when there was still ice covering it I thought I saw a rock that looked like a turtle but thought that couldn't be. When it thawed I went in and grabbed one and it was a wood turtle. There was maybe 4 or 5 we'd see on that short stretch of stream. Hopefully they're still doing well, this was 15 yrs ago.

[@ericawayer-mclaughlin1946]

I love your conservation content. Also we need more bees (and bee videos)...or at least I do!

[@txmarine82]

Another banger video sir. Question….. Does any of the people who live in the houses come out and want to know what’s going on and why ur in their yard? I bet at first they were shocked but after talking to u realized ur a cool ass dude

[@heashburn6573]

💜 your caring soul. You are a good man.

[@catlady520]

Look at that little guy go.

[@kathaleenquinan5943]

You do amazing work

[@ChromatophoneNature]

Nice work!

[@jimmystockton6404]

I love this big guy I swear I'm trying to send this to as many people as possible I wish I could find a way to do my part that doesn't include money to do my part this old man known as "Brandon" keeps me broke 😭

[@NewEnglandReptile]

Very kind.

[@Valyndris]

Poor little kildeer, unfortunately when they are young is when they are at most risk. Bird bones tend to heal fast from what I remember. I remember a neighbor that had a Canada goose with a broken leg, my mother vet wrapped it so it wouldn't pick at it. It lived in the yard till it healed in about 2 weeks. It couldn't fly off since they need a running start to fly. Hope it'll be okay. I didn't understand how your turtle math works, more as to *why* you add up certain numbers depending on scoot/notch positions over just a simple scoot number labeling the notches. I understand it's to identify and monitor them. The math just seems more complicated than it could be. 😅 The headstarting growth success is really awesome, that'll help wonders with how fast they got big enough to have a better chance in the wild. That garter was totally acting like a twig. 😂

[@ChantalsCritters]

Great video as always

[@fivenightsatfreddysgameswo9689]

Just curious but wouldn't the screen do more harm then help its like putting a target on that area n they can just dig under it?

[@kellybraun7048]

Does notching hurt the turtles? I remember hearing that drilling a hole in a tortoise shell to tie them up used to be common practice, but that it hurt the animal so it's no longer done. Probably was on a Garden State Tortoise video.

[@morningstar2384]

K, I love the things you do! Though the membership idea was so not like you, I have next to nothing but I will buy you the pants if yer hurting that bad to charge yer fans, lol. Keep doing you and most off keep being an inspiration to so many people. Man I want a nerd monitor lol. Later my brother, stay well. Doug.

[@tammyfrancis7856]

Everyone has patrion, is that what you are referring to?

[@morningstar2384]

@@tammyfrancis7856 nope!

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

How can people donate to this project? I’d very like to do so. Thank you.

[@dkbridges4675]

Before doing anything call your local game warden for a wildlife rehabber. They may not be allowed to do anything. 😒

[@cliffpadilla5871]

@NewEnglandReptile what are your thoughts about the reports of a reticulated python swallowing a woman whole in Indonesia?

[@darylmorse7337]

Sure looks like you have alot of trouble with your very own identification system

[@NewEnglandReptile]

Someone else marked it!!!! They didn’t do it the normal way.

[@darylmorse7337]

Watching 2 trying to count & identity each turtle was pretty annoying

[@NewEnglandReptile]

Will not deny, it’s a tough system I did not invent.

[@Calamity_Jen85]

Oof, songbird rehabbers can be harder to come by for sure. Poor little nipper 🩶 it’s tough but we know nature wastes nothing and something that needs a meal will likely have one.
