14 September 2010 – Meeting to get a Special Use Permit
I had a meeting on 14 September 2010 with the deputy director of the Patuxent Research Refuge (the center where they did research on the Whooping Crane) and one of the biologists at the Refuge. It looks like they are going to support my proposal to survey the plants on the North Tract of the Refuge and issue a special use permit. That way I will have access to parts of the refuge that the general public doesn’t. This is going to be fun and will take up a lot of time. But it will be worth it. Biologists have surveyed the other tracts in the refuge in the past but the North Tract has never been surveyed. In addition to regular plant collection, I will be adding the dimension of taking pictures. The Purple False Foxglove is one of the plants I found in the refuge.
August 2010 – Monarch Butterfly at various life stages
In August 2010, I took a series of pictures of photographs of the Monarch Butterfly at various life stages. Unfortunately, I did not see any eggs.
All of the photographs were taken on the Patuxent Research Refuge. I hope you enjoy looking at them.
