Day 6
Today was very hot and humid. Sweating a lot for the greater good of New Orleans.
New swamp friends!
These little guys always put a smile on my face. Happy St. Patrick’s Day from my amphibious swamp buds!
Day 6: In the thick of it.
Our transect group taking measurements deep underneath the blackberry. Getting some good data but trying hard not to get hit by the thorny plants.
John Cleary at Chickie Wah Wah
Boogie Woogie piano ruled the Saint Patrick’s Day evening at Chickie Wah Wahs on Canal Street.
We had some help recording data today :)
Bordered plant bug
Inchworm from the Geometrical family . This little guy landed on our paper hanging from a silk thread. He’s going to make a very handsome moth someday.
Leafcutter ant
Yikes!
It’s not every day you get to see a huge fuzzy spider. Out of all the interesting bugs and insects we’ve come across, this was one of the coolest!
Day 6: early start
Starting our transects at woodlands trail bright and early today. Hopefully we can get a lot
more done today.
Camera Traps at Woodlands Trail
We have been exploring the vertebrate visitors to our bottomland hardwood sites for the past several years with camera traps.
