Spring Session 2 Updates

[rachel83az]

the virtual lab was paired with a 45-minute "nature walk" where you have to take photos of 10 different species, including one animal. Then you have to "find" what species they are. but, you're not supposed to use fields or parks, etc, and need to find a natural environment. Luckily I have some wetlands close by so I went there at night took some photos (Muscovy ducks, swans, mallard ducks, and a bunch of grass species, rosemary, etc).

Just thinking about this earlier post. They must not have any students in Phoenix, yet. There is no easily-accessible "wilderness" area. You'd have to drive for a while to get to the desert and, then, you probably won't see a single animal! There are animals all over the place, of course, but the ones in the desert are mostly nocturnal and you don't want to be meeting with half of them.

I almost ran over a native squirrel once while traversing the ASU campus. Does that count?
