It's summertime-where did the spring go?

So it's time for a massive blog update (well past time actually).  Here's some pics from the past few...well, months really that are what we've been up to!

Steph and one of the dogs at the farm we visited for class.

The yellow face of the entomologist after a day in the streams.

Cool critters!  A gomphid dragonfly larvae (best family name ever-say it outloud without smiling, I dare you)
and a giant stonefly

Steph found the cool critters first!

Morning drama back in April-Shasta uncovered a nest of baby bunnies (less than 1 day old).  This is the one we took to the wildlife rehab center nearby.

This is the rest of the nest-alas, despite our best efforts we think the neighborhood cats got to them.
