Blanding's turtle (Emydoidea blandingi)

This was taken in the Arboretum, in the stream that runs down the FWG ravine, under the path, and then out past the 'island' in the Arboretum to the Canal. I was not as surprised as I might have been to see this turtle, because apparently someone found it (I assume this is the same one) behind a MacDonald's on Bronson Ave.!! Fortunately, she knew enough to know what it was and that Bronson was no place for a turtle. She took it to what she called the stream at the FWG. I've no idea if she placed it in the stream on the FWG side of the path, or on the other side. At any rate, this turtle was in such shallow water that it barely covered her. So, I scooped her up, and moved her back down the stream a little way where it becomes wider and deeper. Hope she does well.
