While Measuring, We're BioBlitz'n

It rained again during our fieldwork today, but that certainly didn't dampen our spirits. The leaves have managed to hang on in their beautiful gold and rust colors, and in the process we've found little treasures amongst them. It's like having an unofficial BioBlitz in the SERC forest.

Don't know what a BioBlitz is? Check out: http://www.nationalgeographic.com/field/projects/bioblitz.html for more information.

And now, here are a few photos and a video to share. Getting up close and letting wonder, curiosity and learning take over are the only ways in which to really appreciate nature and the important players in its ecosystems. We certainly are having our share of great up close experiences with nature this week!
