Executive Summary

For 24 hours starting on Friday, June 26, 2015, the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County hosted a Centennial BioBlitz, during which professional and citizen scientists surveyed 3,700 acres across four forest preserves to document the plants and animals that live there. The BioBlitz was one of many events in 2015 celebrating the Forest Preserve District’s 100th anniversary. A whopping 953 different taxa were documented during the 24-hour period. The majority of these were identified to species, however some invertebrates were only identified to genus or higher. The breakdown across major taxonomic groups follows.

Group # Taxa Vascular Flora 439 Non-vascular Flora 140 Vertebrate Wildlife 146 Invertebrates 228 TOTAL 953

Participants recorded 60 species that had not been observed in DuPage County Forest Preserves previously including: • 39 invertebrate species • 13 fungi species • 6 lichens species • 2 moss species

One of these invertebrate species, Pteromicra similis Steyskal, a tiny parasitoid species in the Sciomyzidae family, had never before been recorded in Illinois. This discovery (a male/female pair) also represents the westernmost record of the species.

Rare observations included:  Two Illinois-endangered birds: Black-crowned Night-heron (Nycticorax nycticorax) and Osprey (Pandion haliaetus)  Nine dragonfly/damselfly species considered imperiled in Illinois according to the Illinois State Musuem  One butterfly (Dion skipper, Euphyes dion) on the “Species in Greatest Need of Conservation” list compiled by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources

On Saturday, June 27, the Forest Preserve District also hosted a public Nature Fest at St. James Farm Forest Preserve to celebrate northeastern Illinois’ biodiversity and to allow the public to interact with BioBlitz participants. The event was attended by an estimated 1,900 people.

Introduction

The Forest Preserve District of DuPage County The Forest Preserve District of DuPage County is a governmental conservation agency whose mission is to acquire and hold lands containing forests, prairies, wetlands, and associated plant communities or lands capable of being restored to such natural conditions for the purpose of protecting and preserving the flora, fauna and scenic beauty for the education, pleasure and recreation of the citizens of DuPage County. The Forest Preserve District was established in 1915 and today owns or manages nearly 26,000 acres (12% of the County) as public open space containing five education centers and 145 miles of trails and receiving over 4 million visitors annually.

BioBlitz A BioBlitz brings together scientists to count as many species of organisms as they can find in a defined geographic area in a 24-hour period. That area for the Centennial BioBlitz was four connected forest preserves totaling 3,700 acres: Blackwell, St. James Farm, Herrick Lake and Danada (Figures 1 and 2). Base camp, near the geographic center of the survey area, is located at: 88° 9’ 39” W, 41° 49’ 58” N.

Nature Fest—a six-hour event to allow the public to interact with scientists and learn about biodiversity—ran concurrent with BioBlitz on Saturday, June 27, 2015. The four BioBlitz forest preserves were chosen with the Nature Fest in mind to accommodate significant public attendance for the fest.

As the following report will detail, more than 130 professional scientists and citizen scientists, supported by dozens of District staff and volunteers, documented 953 different taxa of vertebrate wildlife, invertebrates, vascular plants and non-vascular flora during the event. Nature Fest attracted over 1,900 people.

The Centennial BioBlitz was the first event of its kind in the history of the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County. It was so named because it was part of the year-long celebration of the District’s 100th Anniversary. In conjunction with the associated Nature Fest, the Centennial BioBlitz was the natural resources centerpiece of the District’s centennial commemoration.

Weather Weather during the 24-hour period of BioBlitz was unseasonably cool, particularly on Friday evening, when temperatures were in the mid-60s. Cloudy skies gave way to a light but steady rain starting at 7:00 PM and continuing into the overnight hours; according to AccuWeather, precipitation totaled 0.2 inches. The overnight low was 58°F. Saturday’s temperatures, which started off at a crisp 58°F, rose to a high in the mid-70s under mostly sunny skies.

Methods and Results

A complete list of the 953 taxa recorded can be found in Appendix A.

Amphibians and Reptiles Team Leader: Dan Thompson

Sampling was conducted by District volunteers (10), professors and students of nearby universities (5), staff of other environmental agencies (2) and Forest Preserve District staff (2). Five amphibian species (American Toad, Anaxyrus americanus; Bullfrog, Lithobates catesbeiana; Green Frog, Lithobates clamitans clamitans; Northern Leopard Frog, Lithobates pipiens; CREDIT: PAM RAWLS and Western Chorus Frog, Pseudacris triseriata) and seven FIGURE 3. VOLUNTEER MARK BAVETZ SEARCHES FOR TADPOLES AT ST. JAMES FARM FOREST PRESERVE. reptile species were found (Chicago Garter Snake, Thamnophis sirtalis semifasciatus; Common Garter Snake, Thamnophis sirtalis; Common Snapping Turtle, Chelydra serpentine; Midland Brown Snake, Storeria dekayi wrightorum; Midland Painted Turtle, Chrysemys picta marginata; Plains Garter Snake, Thamnophis radix and Spiny Softshell, Apalone spinifera). Timing of the BioBlitz was too late to capture many of the amphibians, as most adult salamanders had long left the breeding pools and retreated underground. Similarly early frog species had also ceased breeding and therefore ceased calling.

Reptile and amphibian diversity is not rich in the four preserves. Most species found are relatively common and have a wide distribution throughout the county with the exception for the Red-bellied Snake, Storeria occipitomaculata, at Blackwell and Spring Peeper, Pseudacris crucifer, at Danada, which were not documented during the BioBlitz.

Sampling was conducted using various methods: traps and basking surveys for turtles, cover boards and

Call surveys for frog species were conducted Friday evening from 7:00 to 10:00 PM. There were 55 monitoring points: Blackwell (17), Danada (8), Herrick Lake (23) and St. James Farm (7). The temperature drop on Friday night greatly reduced much of the calling activity and may have slowed down some of the amphibian and reptile activity both days. Any species heard calling throughout the BioBlitz was recorded. Opportunistic dip netting also took place to survey for adult and metamorph amphibian species. This took place randomly and on occasion when individuals were spotted.

Snakes were surveyed by using 70 cover boards: Blackwell (25), Danada (15) and Herrick Lake (30). No cover boards were placed at St. James Farm due to restoration activity along Spring Brook. Most of the cover boards were plywood sheets 2 feet by 2 feet in dimension (Figure 5). A few of the boards were plastic truck mud flaps. Most of the board transects were placed in open grass or forb dominated fields near wooded areas. Opportunistic cover turning was also conducted, looking at both natural and artificial cover such as the rock piles near the West Division shop along Arrow Road. Three species that are known to occur within the BioBlitz area (Western Fox Snake, Panterophis vulpine; Northern Water Snake, Nerodia sipedon and Queen Snake Regina septemvittata) were not found.

Turtles were surveyed using 17 collapsible hoop traps: Blackwell (7), Danada (4), Herrick Lake (3) and St. James Farm (3). Sites were also visually surveyed for basking turtles. Any basking individual that could CREDIT: ALLISON SACERDOTE-VELAT be properly identified was recorded. Surprisingly, only one Midland Painted Turtle was captured. Spiny FIGURE 5. THREE MIDLAND BROWN SNAKES (STORERIA Soft Shell Turtle, Apalone spinifera, was not captured DEKAYI WRIGHTORUM) WERE DISCOVERED UNDER A although they are known to occur within the PLYWOOD COVER BOARD ON JUNE 26, 2015. sampling area and were observed during the BioBlitz.

Birds Team Leader: Vicky Sroczynski

Over 25 participants inventoried bird species in the four forest preserves. Most teams began their surveys shortly after sunrise on Saturday; one small team braved Friday night’s light rain in search of owls and other evening specialists. A limited number of surveyors played recorded, audible calls to elicit responses from elusive species.

A total of 97 bird species were recorded including two birds listed as endangered in Illinois: Black- crowned Night-Heron (Nycticorax nycticorax; Figure 6) and Osprey (Pandion haliaetus). The Night- Heron was observed at two forest preserves and the Osprey was recorded at three forest preserves. Another exciting observation included a male singing Prothonotary Warbler (Protonotaria citrea) at Danada Forest Preserve, the first recorded observation of this CREDIT: JEFF SMITH species at this preserve. Blue- headed Vireo (Vireo solitarius), FIGURE 6.

Butterflies Team Leaders: John Henry Drake and Tom Velat

Volunteers from The Nature Conservancy in Indiana, led by John Henry Drake, concentrated on butterflies. For the BioBlitz, they completed meander searches, which involve walking in particular area and logging the number of species one encounters. When enough time has gone by, species don’t accumulate as quickly. If this happens, the observer can move to a new site and conduct the search again. The volunteers FIGURE 8.

Volunteers from other teams also recorded butterfly species when encountered.

Thirty (30) butterfly species were recorded. The Variegated Fritillary (Euptoieta claudia) was one interesting species that was found. This species is rarely observed in DuPage County despite its secure conservation status.

Dragonflies and Damselflies Team Leaders: Chris Anderson and Kristopher Pitcher Team Members: Celestia Boughner, Elizabeth Boyle, Linda Padera, Alicia Rozgus, Jerry Zamirowski and Jody Zamirowski

Two teams focused on Odonates: dragonflies and damselflies. The first team, led by Kristopher Pitcher from the University of South Dakota, used minnow traps to collect dragonfly larvae. These traps allow dragonfly larvae to opportunistically search for prey in the trap. This team also conducted meander searches for adult dragonflies. The minnow traps were placed in the field on Friday and collected them on Saturday. These traps were not successful in collecting any dragonfly larvae, but did collect a CREDIT: DAVID SCHOOLEY species of Water Scorpion (Nepidae), FIGURE 10. VOLUNTEERS TREK OUT IN SEARCH FOR DRAGONFLIES AND which was a treat to see. DAMSELFLIES ON THE MORNING OF JUNE 27, 2015. The second team, led by Chris Anderson from Dominican University, conducted meander searches for adult dragonflies and damselflies and also used D-nets to sample for dragonfly larvae. D-nets are often used to disturb the substrate of an aquatic system. Dragonfly larvae that are attached to the substrate are scooped up in the net and can be identified at a later time.

Volunteers from other teams also recorded dragonfly species when encountered.

Forty-four (44) species of Odonates were observed during the BioBlitz, including 22 species of dragonflies and 22 species of damselflies. Nine of these species are considered imperiled in Illinois by the Illinois State Museum (Table 1).

Fish Team Leader: Dan Grigas

Fish collections were completed within both riverine and lake environments using two sampling techniques. The dichotomy amongst habitats and sampling techniques was important to try and capture as many fish species as possible, especially those that were not susceptible to capture in either one habitat or another, or those fish that may have been present in a certain habitat but not captured by a particular sampling technique.

Fyke netting – Mini fyke nets (4) FIGURE 12. FOREST PRESERVE STAFF DEPLOYS A FYKE NET TO SURVEY FISH were used to capture young of the POPULATIONS IN SANCTUARY POND, BLACKWELL FOREST PRESERVE. year game fish and small non-game fish in Sanctuary Pond, a small waterbody (<5 acres) within the Blackwell Forest Preserve (Figure 12). Fyke nets were secured to the bank with a 15’ lead. The nets measured 2’x 4’ at the frame mouth leading back to two 2’ hoops. Mesh was 1/8” inch to reduce escape potential. The four nets were deployed for 18 hours and pulled at the end of the soak period.

Fyke netting yielded a total of seven fish species. Of these seven, only two non-game fish species were captured (Fathead minnow and Blackstripe topminnow). The other species captured included largemouth bass, bluegill, green sunfish, and hybrid sunfish.

Backpack Electrofishing – Backpack electrofishing was conducted by 5 District staff and Phil Willink of the Shedd Aquarium to catalog species within Spring Brook #1 (Figure 13). The shocking run was 1,040 feet in length. Backpack electrofishing was conducted using 120 volt 40 Hrtz settings using a Smith-Root lithium powered backpack lr-24. Shocking was conducted by one individual operating the lr-24 while three District staff manned nets; the remaining two District staff carried buckets for fish transport until the end of the shocking run. Backpack electrofishing yielded a total of 11 FIGURE 13. FOREST PRESERVE STAFF WADE INTO SPRING BROOK NO. 1 CREEK IN fish species. These species included BLACKWELL FOREST PRESERVE WITH ELECTROSHOCKING EQUIPMENT TO SAMPLE FISH SPECIES. golden shiner, mosquitofish, fathead

11 minnow, black crappie, bluegill, green sunfish, hybrid sunfish, yellow bullhead, black bullhead, creek chub, and white sucker.

Boat Electrofishing – Boat electrofishing was conducted by three District staff and Phil Willink. Fish were surveyed by sampling with a boat electrofisher (5,000 W DC) for one run around the perimeter of Silver Lake (about 70% of the shoreline) for 60 minutes.

Boat electrofishing yielded the nine species comprised of all gamefish, save one. Species included largemouth bass, bluegill, redear sunfish, channel catfish, northern pike, yellow bullhead, black crappie, yellow perch, and common carp.

Fish collections were completed within various habitats using multiple gear types, and a total of 21 (25% of know species in the county) fish species were cataloged. The BioBlitz was a great success and provided staff, researchers and citizen scientists invaluable experience in biological sampling methodology, and large scale collaborative projects while providing key data regarding resident species.

Invertebrates Team Leaders: Michael Brittain, Drew Carhart, Cheryl Heinz, Jeff Holland and Tom Velat

A team of volunteers from Benedictine University, led by Dr. Cheryl Heinz, focused on an area of sedge meadow, upland prairie and oak savanna at Herrick Lake Forest Preserve. They employed methods such as meander searches, malaise traps, light traps, sweep nets and insect nets to collect and observe a variety of species. The malaise trap (Figure 17) is a type of flight-intercept trap that caught insects as they flew into it and funneled the specimens down into a collection jar. Specimens were then brought back to the base camp for proper identification using CREDIT: CHERYL HEINZ microscopes. FIGURE 17. A MALAISE TRAP WAS ESTABLISHED AT HERRICK LAKE FOREST PRESERVE TO INTERCEPT FLYING INSECTS. Another team of participants was made up of representatives from several different organizations. Specialists from Purdue University, led by Dr. Jeff Holland and Michael Brattain, focused on collecting beetles in a high-quality savanna at St. James Farm Forest Preserve. They used high-powered light traps to draw in as many species as possible. Unfortunately, Friday night’s rain interfered with good collecting conditions, so no beetles were collected using the lights. Because rain can also damage the lights, the specialists used headlamps and searchlights to find beetles in logs and on the ground. Despite the rain, a group of public observers joined the team for a short time to witness the collection methods.

A different group comprised of beetle specialist Drew Carhart from the Field Museum of Natural History and a District moth surveyor. This group worked at a high-quality savanna in Danada Forest Preserve (Figure 18). The second group also had difficulty collecting beetles in the rain, but FIGURE 18. DREW CARHART MONITORS AN some moths did visit the light, and 18 different species ULTRAVIOLET BLACK-LIGHT TRAP AT DANADA were identified. Drew Carhart collected midges, mosquitoes FOREST PRESERVE ON JUNE 26, 2015. and caddisflies in order to add them to the species list. Drew also visited the site before the rain and was able to collect more species using the sweep net method. Sweep nets are often used to collect insects. Typical sweep net utilization involves walking a path in prime habitat and beating/sweeping the vegetation side-to-side while walking in order to force

14 insects to fall into the bottom of the net bag. At the end of the walk, insects can be vacuumed or aspirated into a sample jar for identification at a later time.

A total of 228 species of invertebrates were found during the BioBlitz (butterflies, dragonflies, damselflies, beetles, crayfish, moths, flies, etc.), a pretty good number due to the difficult weather conditions for the first 10 hours of the event. Some noteworthy findings were: Band- winged meadowhawk (Sympetrum semicinctum), Slender Bluet damselfly (Enallagma traviatum), Tule bluet damselfly (Enallagma carunculatum), Banded hairstreak butterfly (Satyrium calanus), and several species of beetles and snail-killing flies that have not previously documented in the CREDIT: EVAN BARKER county.

Mammals Team Leader: Brian Kraskiewicz

Small-Mammals – Seventy-eight Sherman traps were used along eight transects in a variety of habitats. Each trap was baited made from peanut butter, oats and paraffin wax. Traps were set on Tuesday morning and checked minimally once every 24 hours until Saturday morning. A total of 25 white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus), 17 eastern chipmunks (Tamias striatus) and 10 meadow voles (Microtus pennsylvanicus) were trapped (Figure 21). All these species were captured during the 24-hour BioBlitz.

Bats – Anabat SD1 ultrasonic detector was used at one location in each of the four preserves sampled during the BioBlitz (Figure 20). We did not adhere to the 24-hour BioBlitz sampling period since we only have one detector and wanted to survey all four forest preserves. The detector was out only one night at one preserve but was out at least two nights in the other three preserves. Data was downloaded and visually examined using AnalookW 4.1 software and was also analyzed using Kaleidoscope v FIGURE 20. AN ULTRASONIC BAT DETECTOR WAS 3.1 software. We recorded five species including: big DEPLOYED TO RECORD BAT ECHOLOCATION CALLS. brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus), evening bat (Nycticeius humeralis), hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus), silver- haired bat (Lasionycteris noctivagans) and eastern red bat (Lasiurus borealis).

Trail cameras – Seven trail cameras were deployed across the survey area. Cameras were baited with fatty acid scent discs and were placed in the field a week before BioBlitz, because it may take several days for species to find the bait and be recorded on the camera. We captured two species on the cameras: white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and fox squirrel (Sciurus niger).

Six other mammal species were recorded during the BioBlitz through anecdotal observations from participants on other teams: beaver (Castor canadensis), coyote (Canis latrans), eastern cottontail (Sylvilagus floridanus), gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis), muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus) and raccoon (Procyon lotor). The total number of mammal species recorded during the BioBlitz was 16.

Mosses, Liverworts and Lichens Team Leader: Wayne Lampa Team Member: Pat Armstrong

Mosses, liverworts and lichens were surveyed by opportunistically meandering and recording any species encountered. Sixty-four lichen species, 25 moss species, and four (4) liverwort species were observed during the BioBlitz.

Lichens – Of the 64 lichens, six (6) species have been previously undocumented in DuPage County Forest Preserves and are noted in Appendix A. Prior lichen surveys in DuPage County have not recorded CREDIT: WAYNE LAMPA any lichens of the genus Arthothelium. During the BioBlitz, FIGURE 22.

The last documentation of these species in northeastern Illinois was 120 years ago (Calkins 1896).

Mosses – Of 25 mosses, two (2) species were new records in the Forest Preserve District: Ptychostomum bimum (Figure 23) and Bryum argentium mutucum; both were recorded at Danada Forest Preserve. These species have been recognized as a new species within the past 10-15 years, and their North American distribution is not well documented. These observations may represent new Illinois records.

Sciomyzidae (Snail-killing Flies) Team Leader: William L. Murphy

One hundred and thirteen (113) individuals representing 11 species of Sciomyzidae (snail-killing flies) were collected (Table 3), all by use of a sweep net. All species were previously undocumented in DuPage County forest preserves. The number of species found was about as anticipated for late June; peak flight periods for most sciomyzids at this latitude are mid-May through mid-June. Suitable habitat (standing water: marsh, swale, fen, bog, etc.) was abundant, but because of the very wet spring and extensive flooding, sciomyzids were thinly distributed rather than being FIGURE 24.

PRINTED WITH PERMISSION. perfect habitat.

By far the most important find was a male/female pair of Pteromicra similis Steyskal, a tiny parasitoid species never before recorded in Illinois. This discovery represents the westernmost record of the species. It was previously known from Indiana (Benton and Newton counties, both adjacent to Illinois; LaPorte County), Michigan, Ohio, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Ontario, and Quebec.

The majority (about 72%) of sciomyzids collected belong to the genus Sepedon, members of which are found near relatively deep water, such as that along the margin of Herrick Lake, where about half of the 61 S. fuscipennis Loew were collected. Two recognizable forms of S. fuscipennis are known: a southern form, S. f. fuscipennis, found south of about 42°N from Illinois east to New Jersey, south to central Florida, and west to southern Texas; and a northern form, S. f. nobilis Orth, generally found north of 42°N from Alaska and Northwest Territories east to Newfoundland, south to New York, and west to California, with an extension south to about 30°N in the Rocky and Sierra Nevada mountains. An intermediate form is found in a narrow distribution band generally at about 40°N from Kansas east to New England. All S. fuscipennis specimens collected during the BioBlitz were of the intermediate form, indication that DuPage County lies in the overlap zone between the northern and southern forms.

Interestingly, one area that would appear to offer extensive, perfect habitat—ecosystem EHE17 in the center of the Herrick Lake South quadrant—yielded no sciomyzids. This low-lying basin is covered with narrow-leaved cattail (Typha angustifolia), river bulrush (Scirpus fluviatilis), and sweet flag (Acorus calamus). The absence of sciomyzids in EHE17 was not surprising, as sciomyzids are absent elsewhere in

18 the Midwest in moist habitats where sweet flag or mint species (Lamiaceae) are found. It is speculated that the strong scent of these plants either repels sciomyzids outright or interferes with their ability to locate their snail or slug prey.

Vascular Plants Team Leader: Scott Kobal

The four BioBlitz forest preserves were divided into eight geographic areas. Three plant surveys teams were deployed on Friday evening and five teams were deployed on Saturday to conduct vascular plant inventories. Nomenclature followed the 4th Edition of Plants of the Chicago Region (Swink and Wilhelm, 1994).

Four hundred thirty-nine (439) vascular plant species were recorded. More detailed information based on plant physiognomy can be found in Table 4.
