Meters in a Marsh
1/80s, f8, 400ISO, autoWB, 18mm.
By the time we arrived at our last location on Lake 373, it was raining steadily. Good for the fire risk, but unpleasant to work in. This cattail marsh on the northeast inlet of Lake 373 is now home to two more song meters.
Pond on Inlet of L373

There were many beautiful views on our field work at the ELA, including this small pond on the southwest inlet of L373. The pond used to be dammed by a beaver, but the beaver has since moved to the northeast wetland.
On L378
1/100s, f10, 200ISO, autoWB, 18mm.
Today was a beautiful day to explore Lake 378. This was my first time on this pristine lake and the weather held for us. We went back and forth across the lake, trying to find the best locations for our sampling devices and explored inlets and outlets. This is a view you can see without a boat, as it’s right off camp road. Once you’re in the boat, you do need to watch out for randomly placed boulders and logs in the area.

It rained on this travel day but we made it to our destination safely (and were able to stop and use the biffys here).

The dogwoods around the property are just starting to bud. More on instagram.
Red Admiral on Dandelions
1/250s, f6.3, 200ISO, autoWB, 90mm Tamron macro.
The dandelions are taking advantage of the heat and the flowers are now everywhere. Red admiral butterflies (Lepidoptera: Nyphalidae: Vanessa atalanta) are also out and are enjoying the dandelion nectar (along with a bonus honeybee, in flight).
Pond Hole in the Forest
1/50s, f7.1, 400ISO, autoWB, 18mm.
I picked up my meter from the woods this afternoon and saw some herps too (a turtle and a frog).
