With all the rain, I do my routine storm drain walks to help turtles that may have got washed in.
I heard rustling through the grass, a d see a male eastern box turtke trying to mate with a female red ear.

Odds weren't in his favor, but I managed to get them both back where they belonged. Female red ear was pretty emaciated. Who knows how long she'd been out of water.
