Blandings Turtles


Today we braved the wind, rain and cold to radio track and capture Blanding's Turtles in Concord, MA. We radio tracked 3 important females (over 20 years old!) and trapped a male. Also in the traps were painted turtles and a black crappy! To learn more about BUTUs in Massachusetts go to http://www.mass.gov/dfwele/dfw/nhesp/blandingscmp606.pdf
