Today, we confirmed that @jalene-lamontagne.bsky.social is not crazy! For years she’d say, “I swear there should be a data logger on that tree,”only to find the trees empty. The truth? We have a site of thieving red squirrels intent on stealing our temperature data equipment. One recovered so far!

To celebrate another successful summer of #fieldwork, I present this extremely rare photo of a total solar eclipse in the Huron Mountains. I’m so lucky to be able to experience such amazing occurrences of nature! ☀️🍪

Any ecologist knows flagging tape is a must have in the field. Here are just a few examples of its incredible versatility:
✅ Mark a difficult to see trail.
✅ Make a tagged tree easier to see.
✅ Hold up your pants because you forgot your belt… again.

Hey plant folks! Check out this funky black walnut seedling my dad grew. Out of nearly 60 germinated, does this one just have a weird mutation?
