Ecology/Vert Zoo FieldTrip

Twenty four students, two exuberant professors, and a Nature Conservancy Ranger on a small stream bed are only semi-ideal circumstances for finding wildlife. However, with a quiet, watchful demeanor from all involved, critters come out of the mudworks. This Saturday, I experienced just that at the Ellsworth Creek Nature Conservancy Project. As part of my vertebrate zoology and ecology classes, we take a two day fieldtrip to visit field biology sites in southern Washington.
The Ellsworth creek site is 7,000 acres that covers most of a watershed that feeds into Willapa Bay. Much of the land is clearcut, with about 3-400 acres of old-growth forests. The preserve has one ranger, Tom, who works with researchers and students to catalogue the species diversity within the preserve. Tom is also working on a plan to decommission forest roads and restore clearcut land.
More later when I have slept some -- I'm done with work for now ^^

Busy busy busy

I am horrendously busy with school. This weekend, I worked Friday, Saturday, and Sunday vending at BOTH Mariner's Games and the evening Cougar's game (WSU) on Saturday. I am dog tired.
