TAMARAC REFUGE

DISCOVER THE OUTDOORS AT WILDLIFE SANCTUARY

E

arly summer is a wonderful time to quietly observe the young of spring.

Look for deer fawns hiding behind their mothers, bear cubs exploring their new world and eaglets demanding to be fed.

Experience the vibrant colors and fragrances of early summer woodland wildflowers including the showy pink lady slipper.

Listen for songbirds as they settle in for the summer season.

24 | SUMMER SCENE | JULY 2014

WILDLIFE WATCHING At Tamarac, wildlife is left undisturbed as they care for their young.

Portions of the refuge are closed to the public during this crucial time, but many viewing opportunities still exist.

The most optimum times for viewing wildlife occur around sunrise and sunset. But sometimes even an afternoon visit can be rewarding to the quiet, watchful observer.

To increase your chances of seeing wildlife, explore the edges of the

lakes, marshes and meadows of the five-mile Blackbird Wildlife Drive.

If you feel inclined to exercise, hike the two-mile long Old Indian Hiking Trail and experience the beauty of the maple-basswood forest. Another option is to venture out on the North Country Trail, which traverses 14 miles through the southern half of the refuge.

FISHING Try your luck in one of the five lakes open to fishing. There are DETROIT LAKES NEWSPAPERS

many varieties of fish to be caught including crappie, walleye, sunfish, northern pike and bass.

A fishing map and regulations can be obtained at the refuge information kiosks.

VISITOR CENTER If you’ve got questions, our enthusiastic staff has answers. We are eager to help you make the most of your visit. Check out our interactive exhibits and learn about the refuge habitats that provide a home for animals like trumpeter swans, gray wolves, and the golden-winged warbler.

Be sure to view our large screen presentation entitles: “Tamarac: It’s Life and Legends.” Before you leave browse the Tamarac Bookshop.

Proceeds from sales support educational programs at the refuge.

The visitor center is located 9 miles north of Hwy 34. Visitor center hours are Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. and weekends 10 a.m.-5 p.m.

We will be open 10 a.m.-5 p.m.

DETROIT LAKES NEWSPAPERS

WHY DID THE TURTLE CROSS THE ROAD?

TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE REFUGE, OF COURSE Summer time brings many things to Tamarac Wildlife Refuge — hikers, bird watchers, curious newborn animals, foragers and anglers. It also brings scientists and biologists researching wildlife.

This summer, Tim Mitchell from Iowa State University is doing research on the painted turtle.

The painted turtle is the most widespread North American turtle, ranging across the entire continent.

It is one of the more easily identified species with olive to dark skin and yellow stripes covering the head, neck and limbs.

Males can be distinguished from females by their smaller size and longer front claws. An adult turtles shell ranges from 4 to 10 inches.

The turtles mate from March to mid-June and females lay eggs between May and July. The sex DETROIT LAKES NEWSPAPERS

of the turtle is dependent on the temperature of the nest. Cooler temperatures produce males and warmer temperatures produce females.

Researchers worry that shifting climates and increasing temperatures may adversely affect the turtle’s reproductive success.

If temperatures increase it is possible that only females will be produced.

Tim’s research is being done in seven different states with varying climates. The goal of the research is to give insight to how the turtles are able to adapt to varying climates.

So far, Tim has spent two weeks at Tamarac researching the nesting turtles. Once a nesting site is found it is marked on a GPS. After the eggs are laid they are counted and weighed.

He then inserts a temperature logger in the nest that gives hourly readings of the temperature throughout the incubation period.

Finally, a net covering is laid over the nest to protect it from predators.

Tim will be returning in August to revisit each site and determine the sex ratio of the nests.

There are many interesting research projects that go on throughout the summer; another reason to visit Tamarac, ask questions and understand the importance of a wildlife refuge.

We will be open 10 a.m.-5 p.m. of the 4th of July. The Refuge is a great place to bring the family rain or shine.

When you do visit, remember to slow down for wildlife. Many of our painted turtle friends like to take their time while crossing the road.
