Geographic Range. They typically arrive at these sites in September and October and leave shortly after the ice melts in March and April. SOUTHERN DUTCHESS COUNTY.
They often favour relatively eutrophic 14 environments, with shallow water (less than 2 m deep, often less than 50 cm), soft highly organic substrates, and abundant submergent Recently a group of Laurentian University scientists identified one of the densest populations of Blanding’s in Ontario on the North Shore site.
We used these designations solely to determine if sites Hudsonia Ltd. PO Box 5000 Any habitat that was occupied by one of the tagged turtles was considered confirmed overwintering habitat, while all others were considered unconfirmed. The Field Ecology blog is meant to be informational and thought provoking.

Herpetological Review 40: 411-414. Blanding’s Turtles tend to return to the same overwintering habitats that largely remain a mystery to researchers. Hatchling turtles may be able to withstand temporary freezing, as they have been noted to spend the night terrestrially upon emerging from their nests in late October and early September, and may possibly be terrestrial during their first winter. Biology / Life History.
landing’s turtles travel varying distances, sometimes greater than 1 km, from wetlands to uplands to nest. The Blanding’s Turtle (Emydoidea blandingii) is a medium sized turtle recognizable by its yellow throat. Post-Natal Movements and Overwintering Sites of Hatchling Blanding's Turtles, Emydoidea blandingii, in East-Central Minnesota. They have delayed maturation, reaching sexual maturity at 14-20 years of age.
While their metabolism runs at very low ebb in …
Winter habitats: Blanding's turtle adults and juveniles often densely aggregate at their aquatic overwintering sites, and return to the same sites year after year (Caverhill 2006, McNeil 2002, Power 1989).
