Although the land recently changed hands, this wetland sits behind my parents house and is home to approximately infinite spring peepers and this snapping turtle. The property was previously owned by the Muscarella’s, but I’m not sure who owns it now. There is a large portion of the wetland that is open and free of the willows, and it is completely covered by Reed Canary Grass with a few ATV tracks blazed through it.

Black Squirrel Triathlon 2010
Pat, Allison and I recently participated in the 2nd annual Black Squirrel Triathlon in Kent, which involved a 2 mi canoe down the Cuyahoga River, 2.5 mi run and a 10 mi bike. I don’t know our times or our place… but if I find out, I’ll post it. Here are a few photos from the day, including some of Emma-Lisa, who is a former graduate student and office-mate of mine at Kent.

Clearing the back-log: Vertebrate Zoology
As is likely the case with any photographer, I have discovered a large back-log of photographs that have yet to be processed – they lack names, tags, geographic positions, general descriptions. And, this log has now reached over a year; I have photos from teaching last summer’s Vertebrate Zoology lab and this Spring’s. Since I like to keep this blog as a log of my somewhat recent activities, it’s easy for these photos to pile up if I don’t immediately process and publish them. But the other option might be to delete them… So, in an effort to process some, below are a few photos from a Spring trip to Triple Springs Creek in West Branch State Park. I don’t even remember the student’s names…

We’re just two guys who like well-priced button-downs
Here, Ken from West Virginia University and I make small talk in our comfortable, button-down, Kohl’s bought t-shirts. I did shake Ken’s hand, but Connie wasn’t able to get her camera out in time to take a photograph of the two of us.
