June28-July6

June 28

--During my first bird survey at Nameless, I saw our friend the harrier, twice. Same, low-hunting sweep all around the periphery of the meadow as I’ve been seeing at Mahogany. (That was a great picture from Josef, by the way.)


June 30
--The camp talk! More people than we were prepared for, logistically, but I think it went off well. Kylie only used the term “Crikey” a handful of times while sharing her vast knowledge of the reptile world. In the week following I have been accosted with questions herpetological while buying ice cream in the store, eating dinner, and actively using the “facilities”.





July 2
--Kylie and I came across three gopher snakes in the road in one afternoon. Two near Spalding, one alive, one dead (~2 PM). And one on the dirt road near the Lassen County Youth Camp (~3:30PM).
July 3
--Another successful feeding of the Mahogany transplant snakes. Only three of the lakeshore snakes persist in not eating—the same ones as last week. No one else held back.

July 4,5,6
--Incredibly HOT days at Eagle Lake.
