What’s small (reaching a maximum size of 4.5 inches), has a shell, and a distinctive orange patch on each side of its head? A bog turtle! 🐢 This New York State native turtle is the smallest turtle species in North America! It is state listed as endangered and federally listed as threatened. It’s pretty neat that NYS has populations in the wild, but many thanks should be given to DEC, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), conservation partners, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS

From Bog Turtle researcher, Mike Knoerr, “Meet male 4.2 (aka Jackie Robinson).

This spring he and his lady friends were totally MIA from their usual haunts. I eventually found him ~100m away chowing down on a nightcrawler. Today, we found him and his girlfriends back under their willows. The females are just about bu
