Turtle nests, like this one, can be difficult to spot, even for wildlife biologists. So, each nesting season, biologists from the Portland District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers repeatedly walk for miles in a grid pattern around several Corps reservoirs in the Willamette Valley, looking for turtles and their nests. As a federal agency, the Portland District provides certain protections to wildlife at Corps’ reservoirs, and the search for turtles and turtle nests is part of an effort to protect a native species, the northwestern pond turtle, which is experiencing rapid population decline.
