Grassland Research Week 1
 |
| Students checking nets at SGL 119 in Bear Creak |
 |
| Bobolink at Beltzville State Park. This is one of my favorite birds. The males show reversed counter shading: They are lighter on top (the dorsal surface) than the bottom. Most birds (and other animals including mammals, fish, squamates, etc) are lighter below than above. |
 |
| Bobolink chasing a female. This field had a dozen or so males and each time a female took flight she was chased by a handful of hopeful males. |
 |
| Song Sparrow with a caterpillar that she is feeding young. We found the chick in the incredibly thick grass of SGL 205 in Schnecksville, PA |
 |
| This is exciting. I am 99% sure this was where a Snowy Owl was sitting and eating rabbits. The white objects are owl pellets - the undigested bits of a critter |
 |
| Nope, not sunset at 830 PM but sunrise at 515 AM. The site is an hour away from Wilkes-Barre. Yea, do the math. |
