Carroll County Greeting Card IMG_5434

A Blanding’s turtle (Emys blandingii) peers out cautiously from beneath its domed shell in Carroll County, Illinois — bright yellow chin, ancient eyes, and a shell worn smooth by decades of wetland life. One of Illinois’s most charismatic and imperiled native turtles, caught in a rare and intimate moment.
