=== McKinney National Wildlife Refuge (Salt Meadow Unit/Menunketesuck Island) === On July 11, 2010, I photo-documented an ''M. terrapin'' specimen offshore of Westbrook, Connecticut, approximately 20 to 30 feet from the northern end of Menunketesuck Island. Menunketesuck Island is a portion of the Salt Meadow Unit of the Stewart B. McKinney National Wildlife Refuge. Although the area in the vicinity of Menunketesuck Island generally fits the profile of ''M. terrapin'' habitat (brackish estuary / close proximity to salt marsh), it has historically been quite unusual to find these turtles in Westbrook Harbor. Despite nearly 25 years of experience with coastal wildlife of Westbrook Harbor, this is the only instance in which I have observed ''M. terrapin''.
