Today will be the last time I survey lupines at Indiana Dunes National Park. I'm feeling a little at loss that I won't be returning to the field sites that I've been visiting for 4 years!!
Wondering how other people feel when they leave a field site for the last time. 🥲

I have no clue how a month and a half passed since I set out for fieldwork, but here we are. Today I dismantled my transplant site in Ohi, wrapping up a 3 year experiment.
Check out the length of these lupine roots! Really had to dig deep.

Now I gotta prep for CSEE 🫠🫠

Fieldwork update 5!
The lupines are approaching their peak bloom at Kitty Todd Nature Reserve near Toledo, Ohio (@nature.org), creating purple hues across the landscape. Counting plants is so much easier now 🤠

Earlier last week I visited the Karner Blue Sanctuary managed by Lambton Wildlife. The @ncccnc.bsky.social applied a much needed prescribed burn, removing some of the successional growth that isn't conducive for lupines. We'll see how the burn did when I return in June! 🔥🔥

fieldwork update 2/n
After surveying the NH lupines by a lake (and visiting a kind local), Simon and I visited a private airport housing the National Guard. There were lupines right beside the runway. Not quite the field site I expected!
Thanks to Dan from the NH Fish & Game for giving us a hand!

A little late on the fieldwork posts but here's update 1 of many to come!
On April 27, I crossed into the US to survey lupines in New Hampshire. Was unexpectedly met with snow!! After passing through the white mountains, Simon (MSc labmate) found some just beside a lake.

Reviewing some photos from this past year and found a quick reminder that fieldwork is just around the corner!
Take a look at these flowering Sundial lupines, taken at Norfolk County on @ncccnc.bsky.social lands!
