Field Notes

Description:

Found this older female Blanding's Turtle crossing a jogging path on her way from her pond to some forested area at Cuba Marsh Forest Preserve in Barrington, IL. My first sighting of an endangered species!

Notes:

Confirmed this sighting originally with Lake County Forest Preserve Wildlife Biologist Gary Glowacki who believed it was the first-ever sighting of a Blanding's at Cuba Marsh.
