Every Monday, the lovely wildlife and turtle techs head out in the field to set anywhere from 20-30 traps throughout the swales. Each morning for the rest of the week, they check their traps and hope for some Blanding&#8217;s! Although we are always hopeful for our favorite turtle friends, we never mind seeing the diverse wildlife present in the marshes. We catch everything from snapping turtles to frogs, minnows to crayfish, and so many more!<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3956 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/vetmed.illinois.edu\/wel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/06\/FullSizeRender-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vetmed.illinois.edu\/wel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/06\/FullSizeRender-200x267.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/vetmed.illinois.edu\/wel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/06\/FullSizeRender-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/vetmed.illinois.edu\/wel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/06\/FullSizeRender-400x533.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/vetmed.illinois.edu\/wel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/06\/FullSizeRender-600x800.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/vetmed.illinois.edu\/wel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/06\/FullSizeRender-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/vetmed.illinois.edu\/wel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/06\/FullSizeRender-800x1067.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/vetmed.illinois.edu\/wel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/06\/FullSizeRender-1200x1600.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Check out our vlog this week to learn more about trapping and to see the thrill of pulling the trap out of the water!
