It’s time for #FieldworkFriday!
With the amount of fieldwork that takes place during the spring and summer, our team members often stumble upon a variety of wildlife. This week, we’re sharing some of our favorite wildlife species that we’ve seen while traveeling throughout the watershed: moose, a painted turtle, and even a piebald whitetailed deer (see last picture)!
For those that may not know, piebaldness is a recessive genetic trait that can be expressed outwardly through white splotches, dwarfism, and arched spines. Some reports even say that piebaldness occurs in less than 2% of the whitetailed deer population.
