This Blanding's Turtle was in the woodland pond shown in the previous photo. A construction worker happened to come by just after I took this photo and told me that two Blanding's Turtles are regularly seen in this pond sunning themselves on the logs. This turtle species is endangered but has a good population in this area. The Blanding's Turtle is one of the many reasons why environmentally conscious people want this habitat saved and the project halted. Personally, I think this entire area is far more important from an environmental and ecological point of view than much of the habitat in the greenbelt.
