This was a VERY
remote site in the Chihuahuan Desert |
Dr. Johnson (jeans)
gives a tour with the station in the background. |
He also helped us with
plant identification |
Then it was up to our class to
collect data. |

We opened pit-fall
traps near the buildings |
We also set rodent
traps, identified lizards, watched for vultures, . . . .
|
. . . . and inventoried cactus |
We also caught animal,
such as this scorpion |

Hector, a PhD student
from UTEP helped identify things . . . |
. . . . like this horned lizard |
Processing mice that
were captured takes time |
A bunch of them were
pocket mice |

Anna even caught a palid bat, . .

Inside the new
classroom building, Karen led the cooking crew . . . .

We sure enjoyed the
food, and the shade offered by the building |
Nathan & Anna entertained us when
we had some quiet time. |
