This was Vals and Dons first visit to Corkscrew and my first in several years. Val and Don were doing much butterfly and dragonfly watching, while I birded the boardwalk mostly by myself. It took four hours to reach the shortcut loop on the western side of the loop, where I joined Val and Don, but only 40 more minutes to complete the full boardwalk loop. We then relaxed in the Visitors Center, drinking liquids and watching the feeders/bird fountain. The weather was sunny, warm, humid, with calm winds at the start, but it had become very hot and humid by the end (good thing the boardwalk is heavily shaded). Parts of the boardwalk, and many trees, were destroyed by Hurricane Irma in September 2017 and had not yet been repaired.

If it was the end of the work day, rather than in the middle, I would have had the ability to drop it off at a much better environment. This canal does connect into Lake Ida, so maybe it can swim some ways to get to that better place. I know it could have been trying to get out of this crappy canal, and I just put it back in, but under the circumstances, I still did rescue it.

Occurrence Remarks: With Valeri Ponzo (in part); an unsuccessful search for the Yellow-headed Caracara in Miami. This morning at 0729 Val texted me to see if I had plans for the weekend. I did not, so we planned a trip for the caracara, which Val had not yet chased. Val was in Titusville visiting family, so I spent an hour birding on my own before Val arrived home. We left shortly afterward. Our itinerary for today was: 1130-1230: Payne Park, Sarasota -- A solo visit while Val was still en route home. This was my first visit in several years. I stayed in the northern half of the park and walked west to A.B. Smith Park. The weather at the start was sunny, 60 degrees (feels like 58), and breezy. 1517-1530: Collier County Rest Area along Alligator Alley -- a potty stop and a brief iNatting session, but we were pressed for time so did not linger. 1656-1730: Oleta River State Park -- to have better luck at finding the caracara, we split up, with Val at Angelfish/Pufferfish/Panther Pavilion to the north, and me at Pelican Pavilion to the south. I photographed a first-cycle Bonapartes Gull that was less than 10 feet off the beach. When it saw me, it swam then walked up to me. I expected it to have a fish hook in it, or for it to have been wrapped in fishing line, but it had neither. I went back to looking for the caracara for a minutes or two and the gull had absolutely vanished. The weather was sunny, mild, and breezy.; Coordinate Uncertainty in Meters: 141.00000.

GBIFID: 2596334329; Occurrence Remarks: This organism appeared to be a turtle of some sort. It was about a foot in length and had a black and yellow egg-shaped shell, as well as black and yellow striped skin. This organism also had what appeared to be moss growing on the back of its shell. It kept peaking its head up out of the water, which allowed me to get a couple better shots, but for the most part it stayed under the water mostly and was quite shy. There were also several organisms of this type in the location I observed. Maybe around 5 or 6 that I could see. This organism was observed at a lake near my apartment complex. Reference: http://srelherp.uga.edu/turtles/deiret.htm;; Coordinate Uncertainty in Meters: 0.11000.

GBIFID: 2597824900; Occurrence Remarks: This organism is a turtle known as the Peninsular Cooter (Pseudemys peninsularis), a deuterostome of the family Emydidae belonging to the Phylum: Chordata. This observation took place at Okeeheelee Park where the organism was found resting in the shade under trees during a sunny day. This organism was located very close to a large freshwater lake. The organism itself was about a foot long and very flat in appearance. The organism had an oval shaped shell that was covered in a unique striped pattern of black and yellow. This pattern was present across the entirety of the shell and its extremities. The limbs appeared to have web-like hands and feet 1-1.5 inches wide as skin filled the space between fingers. The skin appeared very flexible and smooth allowing the turtle to retract into the shell when I was present. The head and tail of the organism had a similar pattern as the shell with even the eyes, mouth, and nose containing that pattern. Although I was unable to get a good look at the bottom of the organism, it appeared to be an area of pale colored shell that protected the organism.

GBIFID: 3466172392; Occurrence Remarks: Visual Description: Quadrupedal specimen approximately 1 foot in length, with a hard shell covered in dark brown and light green markings, with similar markings on visible body structures. Defining Characteristics: The specimen appeared to be oviparous, quadrupedal, and possessed scales, indicating it was a member of the reptilia class of deuterostomes. Habitat: Found on an overcast sunny day, in a forested wetland near the gulf coast of central Florida, near a freshwater pond. Range: Found throughout the Florida Peninsula as a native species Additional information: Observed laying eggs and establishing a nest. While the adults of the species lack predators aside from otters and alligators, many species prey on the young. The adults are entirely herbivorous, while the young often feed on small insects and larvae. They are a keystone species in Florida and are threatened by habitat loss and degradation. -reference: Coordinate Uncertainty in Meters: 0.11000.

GBIFID: 3743114462; Occurrence Remarks: This turtle was observed swimming in a large, freshwater pond in a suburban area. The pond contained ample vegetation and stagnant, muddy water. The pond is in direct sunlight with no available shade. The bottom could not be seen, so it is suspected to be a deep pond (at least 7 ft - 8ft in the center). The shell was dark green or dark brown (made greener with algae growing around the outer edge) and was approximately 8 inches in diameter. The turtles markings were black/dark green and yellow with many yellow stripes observed on face, neck, and all four legs. Webbed feet were observed while swimming. The turtle was observed underwater for the majority of the time, but would come up to eat vegetation. Due to the large size, it is suspected to be a female as they are significantly larger than males. This specimen belongs to the family Emydidae as it is obviously a turtle (has a shell from the ribs, as in the order of Testudines) and lives in the freshwater. This turtle is suspected to be a Peninsular Cooter based on its markings and habitat location. These turtles are endemic to North America and native to Florida, found throughout the Southeast US from Florida to Virginia. https://srelherp.uga.edu/turtles/pseflo.htm;; Coordinate Uncertainty in Meters: 8.00000.

GBIFID: 4599938959; Occurrence Remarks: A visit after work; only my second visit here -- the first was years ago -- to see if I could find any butterflies or moths. I walked around the southern boundary all the way to Cliff Stephens Park, then walked the northern boundary back to Jet. There were TONS of small moths, caterpillars, and a pupae in oaks and other hardwood shrubs and trees along the northern boundary, while the southern boundary had some blooming (Joe) Bidens that attracted several butterflies. I tried to photograph every moth food plant in case some species are not known to be moth hosts, as well as to hopefully narrow down the moth identification possibilities. Moths were so abundant that walking by nearly every low-growing oak meant that 4, 5, 6, or more moths would fly out. Some landed on my shirt, pants, or hand! I also found a super-cool leafhopper that hopefully can be identified to species. The park seemed to include centuries-old pines (I think Longleaf Pine but Im not positive) and Live Oaks; I was not expecting either. As this is an urban park, there were many exotic plants growing in it. However, I believe that none were intentionally planted -- rather, they naturalized -- so that all plants should be Research-Gradable. I used my Panasonic Lumix FZ80 for all non-macro photographs, and I used my Samsung A52 cell phone for macro-photography.

GBIFID: 2269286917; Occurrence Remarks: The Peninsula Cooter, scientifically known as Pseudemys peninsularis, was found in the swampy waters of Lettuce Lake Park in Tampa, Florida. The photo of this animal was taken on a very hot and dry day. The turtleΓÇÖs shell was a bit hard to see, but it was dark green, and its skin was dark green as well, with yellow stripes that travelled all over its body. I went ahead and compared my photo with the Peninsula Cooter seen on the Florida Museum Website. After doing this I decided it was the best option. The turtle was sitting very still on a log in the swampy water, covered in green residue from the water. Also, the Cooter was medium sized. According to the animal diversity website, this type of Cooter is usually found through FloridaΓÇÖs peninsula, however, the northern limit range is unknown. The website also states that these turtles can be found in fresh body water, but they also found very frequently in swamp areas. Still waters are preferred by these turtles, which is why I found it in the swampy, still lake. The website states that Peninsula CooterΓÇÖs are of the Kingdom Animalia. Furthermore, they are of the reptilia class, testudines is the order, they are of the emydidae family and the genus is Pseudemys. Reference McCoy, C. (n.d.).

There was a deck extending out to the pond so I went onto the deck and was able to capture the photo of the turtle. It would often poke its head out of the water, causing the ripples in the water. It was fairly cloudy and humid, but in the further distance it looked like it was about to rain. Class: Reptilia - sauropsida, do not have an aquatic larval stage but has faveolar lungs Order: Testudines (turtles) - bony or cartilaginous shell. No post-orbital fenestrae (holes in the skull) Family: Emydidae - most are aquatic but some are terrestrial. Well developed shells with 24 marginal and 12 plastral scutes. Water turtles have webbing between their toes Genus: Pseudemys - often referred to as Cooters -This turtle was seen swimming so it is aquatic and does have webbing between its toes. -Can infer it spends majority of its time in lakes, ponds. and rivers;; Coordinate Uncertainty in Meters: 4.00000.

GBIFID: 3384204109; Occurrence Remarks: I saw this turtle in the Reitz Union pond, swimming around on the surface of the pond by the vegetation. It was cloudy outside, and fairly warm (75┬░F-80┬░F). Class: Reptilia (scales) Order: Testudines (bony shell that surrounds its body) Family: Emydidae -I identified this organism as Family Emydidae, because it looks like it has a low arching carapace. -I could tell that this turtle had webbing between its toes, although it is difficult to see in the picture. -Emydids are mostly aquatic, and this turtle was in the water, which helped me identify it.;; Coordinate Uncertainty in Meters: 17.00000.

GBIFID: 3408182867; Occurrence Remarks: Peninsular Cooter (Pseudemys peninsularis) at Sweetwater Wetlands - Gainesville, Florida;; Coordinate Uncertainty in Meters: 11.10000.

Occurrence Remarks: Same as: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/306102943 Hard to see here but the upper jaw is without noticeable cusp or notch. The posterior marginal scutes are not particularly notched or serrated. The underside of marginals anterior to and on the bridge have solid black circles crossing the seams. The bridge appears unmarked (I think that dark mark is a shedding scute). The plastron appears to be pale yellow with no dark markings. Fewer than 11 head stripes are present, and the faded supratemporal and paramedian stripes look like they used to join behind the eyes forming the hairpin.; Coordinate Uncertainty in Meters: 0.11000.
