Most of the day was spent counting and measuring trees, saplings, seedlings, and shrubs
along a 50-m transect.
A quick thunderstorm (the promised "torrential downpour") didn't dampen spirits.
In the evening, after our talent show, we had a "Night Sounds" program that included
night journaling.
Large moths are fairly common this time of year.
Sadly, this Imperial Moth (Eacles imperialis) was dead, but mostly intact.
This Polyphemus Moth (Antheraea polyphemus) was attracted to the lights in
our picnic shelter.
