Wildlife biologist Kathleen Smith prepares to log information about a red-eared slider turtle after finding the turtle completing its nest of eggs July 26, 2022. The red-eared slider turtles are a nonnative species in Oregon, and they compete with native turtles for food and habitat, especially nesting sites. Corps biologists regularly look for and remove the red-eared slider turtle and its eggs from several Willamette Valley Corps locations. The efforts are in support of a native species, the northwestern pond turtle, which is experiencing rapid population decline.
