Wow, it's been over a week! I have really been slacking. Well last weekend we were in Blacksburg for some R&R, so not a whole lot has been going on. The weather has been good, so we are moving along with bird surveys (only 4 early mornings left over the next couple of weeks). We're trying to focus on getting some other work completed, since we are planning on moving out around July 11. Depending on whether it rains for the rest of the summer, I'll be back and forth occassionally. Now work just consists of checking coverboards for salamanders, doing some site descriptions, and marking points of interest in addition to my survey points (like human impacted areas, active mining, gas wells, etc.) into the GPS units. In addition to field work, we're trying to get all the data entered into a computer spreadsheet before we leave here to make compiling things easier once I get back to Blacksburg.
Well, I've got some more pictures for you. Hope you like!
Wild horses near our one clearcut site. Seems like we deal with livestock more than wildlife sometimes!
Our friends, the cows. The gate is new and this site is now being grazed as of a few days ago (surprise for me!).
Some butterflies hanging out together enjoying the mud.
Interesting track pattern...
Close up. Can you guess the culprit?
