As Jeffs friend Dr. McDaniel would say, "Disaster". Well, not exactly, but I was expecting quite a few more seedlings in the plots that I looked at today. This will make sampling extra difficult and who knows, maybe it won't work out, not fretting about it, yet. Cambria is beautiful. I'm not up on my avian species, but we've got Pelicans and snow white "egrets"...I think. Tons of deer everywhere and they are so habituated to non-threatening humans that they let you get feet away. The scenery is magical as you can see from the photos. Don, the manager of the "Ken Norris Rancho Marino Reserve" is a super nice guy who quite obviously loves what he does. He has two cute little girls with his wife Miranda. Kristin and i biked out to the demographic plots that I'm hoping to sample and found hardly any seedlings in these plots, which is an important aspect to my research. I'm on the case though, and with nearly 2 weeks left here, I'm still positive. Enjoy the photos. Oh, by the way, we lost the moon here. Last night, nearly a fully, and now it's pitch as dark. Anybody seen the moon?
