Po’ Boys and Music Talk
Thanks Mark for the talk! It was great to get an inside look at how a record label is operated in New Orleans. And deep fried pickles are my dream food.

Visited Dr. Blum at Tulane University, discussed the 2010 BP oil spill in greater detail.
Looking up one of the man made drainage canals brimming with life. Turtles, frogs, snakes, lily pads and much more.
Part of our work saving the bottomland hardwood forests is quantifying just how bad our invasive woody species actually are. In that vein, we established a group of marked (natural recruits) invaders out on our Trail C at Woodlands Trail three years ago and have been looking at their demography each year since. This allows us to estimate the rate at which these species couple take over the canopy if left unchecked.
We have marked all of our trees with spray paint and located their exact positions with our sub-meter GPS. Last year we had the brilliant idea to actually put numbered aluminum plant tags on these suckers. The only issue we discovered this season was the growth rate of these trees is such that these wires holding the metals tags to the tree sometimes could not keep up with the phenomenal growth in the girth of these trees.
These little fellas seem to be quite common, but we cant seem to see a live one.
Today’s southern sunset was amazing. Can’t beat sunsets like this. Especially after a long days work.
These little guys always put a smile on my face. Happy St. Patrick’s Day from my amphibious swamp buds!
Our transect group taking measurements deep underneath the blackberry. Getting some good data but trying hard not to get hit by the thorny plants.
