Who’s a good boy?

Sunkhaze is! Sunkhaze and his trainer, Sequoia Dixon, helped us track down a #WoodTurtle whose radio transmitter had died before we could remove it, along with a GPS logger. After many months of searching, Sunkhaze had the turtle in 20 minutes!

In his previous blog post, Kiley shared the remarkable story of a #WoodTurtle that survived a car strike and was released back into the wild after rehabilitation.

#WoodTurtles need freshwater stream along with a mix of forested and flatter landscapes. The Nova Scotian population is estimated at 2,000 – 7,000 turtles. Threats come from roads, agriculture, habitat loss, and the illegal pet industry. novascotia.ca/natr/wildlif...

Meet Root, a wood turtle missing a foot. Thanks to some Lego wheels and a dog harness, he’s cruising like never before! 🐢 Hear how he likes his new ride on the next episode of Wild About Wildlife, coming soon. @novascotiamuseum.bsky.social #mnhnovascotia #woodturtle #lego #podcast #wildaboutwildlife

This one-eyed #WoodTurtle is on the move! So far in 2025, he’s traveled ~3.5 miles—almost a straight line, mostly on land. That’s the farthest in 3 years Kiley has been tracking his journey. Here he is mid-snack with a mouthful of slug goo, as a mosquito dives in for a landing.

When a young boy found an injured #WoodTurtle on the side of the road, his family's quick thinking saved its life. Nearly a year later, he was there again—this time to return the turtle home.

If you thought mosquito season was bad, try being a #WoodTurtle during no-see-um/biting midge season! After spotting this turtle the other day, Kiley snapped some pics and moved along quickly after noticing biting midges accumulating more while the turtle remained still waiting for Kiley to leave.

It is amazing to live somewhere where the rare are common. #Woodturtle #turtle #Endangered ( #IUCN 3.1 )[1]

On a recent trip to New York, Chris, Kiley, and two volunteers spent a few days searching a property for Box Turtles. Although Box Turtles eluded our crew this time, they did scrounge up this old male #WoodTurtle, which is arguably a much more significant find.

Join Kiley Briggs as he kicks off #WoodTurtle season in #Vermont! This video takes you into the field during his first successful survey of the year in mid-April. Bonus: fan-favorite Bruce the Wood Turtle makes his first cameo of the season!

There was something so exciting about spotting an #endangered #woodturtle (Glyptemys insculpta) at my local State Park. It reminds me of the importance of keeping safe spaces for these #reptiles. I support our public lands 100%. Enjoy this example of my #nature #photography 🤗🐢

I like turtles! 🐢

Stumbled upon a delightfully aging wooden turtle at Muir Woods National Monument.
