A rainy, cold day!

First, check the video clips for some answers to yesterday's questions!

Today we traveled back to Cook's Lake in order to check our traps. Team B got really excited because we had one trap with the door closed! However, it was empty when we went to open it. Bummer! Team B gets picked on daily because we have yet to have a catch, but we are getting use to it. All of us worked on clearing a new trail today and also did some deer quadrats (making 10x10 squares and walking in a line while looking down for skat). It was a long day because it was raining and cold! We were already ready to head back to the accommodations. Tonight we had a meeting with an Earthwatch employee who is with us. The work never seems to be done! I had some good questions submitted to me so keep those coming. Hopefully tomorrow I can report a catch for Team B!!!

Questions to consider.....

1. Today we found more deer skat in the open, grassland region as opposed to the forested region. Why do you think there was more skat in the grassland?

2. It was 11° C for a high here today and 9° C for a low. What are those temperatures using the fahrenheit?
