We learned that the hard way on day one! Standing in the middle of a swale that was three feet deep after finding two turtles with no solid ground in sight to set up our supplies&#8230;. we had to get creative. We ended up finding a down tree just a few meters away from where we found the turtles, but it definitely was a balancing act.<\/p>\n<p>Week one in the field went very smoothly! We tracked a bunch of the telemetered turtles and even got a few hand captures, which is what its called when you find a Blanding&#8217;s without the use of a trap or telemetry.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3788 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/vetmed.illinois.edu\/wel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/05\/IMG_9950-169x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vetmed.illinois.edu\/wel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/05\/IMG_9950-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/vetmed.illinois.edu\/wel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/05\/IMG_9950-200x356.jpg 200w, https:\/\/vetmed.illinois.edu\/wel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/05\/IMG_9950-400x711.jpg 400w, https:\/\/vetmed.illinois.edu\/wel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/05\/IMG_9950-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/vetmed.illinois.edu\/wel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/05\/IMG_9950-600x1067.jpg 600w, https:\/\/vetmed.illinois.edu\/wel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/05\/IMG_9950-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vetmed.illinois.edu\/wel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/05\/IMG_9950-800x1422.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vetmed.illinois.edu\/wel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/05\/IMG_9950.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 169px) 100vw, 169px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">If you find a new turtle, you get to name him or her!
