Day 7

Today we are are going to type in our canopy cover data and then we will put this data into the past software and create some data graphs tonight will be the first official night it usually rains when we have to go out so we will see how it goes. Its about 7:30 and we are getting ready to head to the field to get our first set of data on amphibians. we got rained on pretty hard and didn't see anything really due to the excessive heavy rain Dr Alberto said we will call it quits for the day just cause its to wet and the amphibians don't like to much water so our chances seeing anything else at the other sites is pretty slim. Felt good to walk around when its nice and cool instead of it being really hot its still humid at night but would rather have that then it being hot. Got back to base a little early so another mentor jake showed us a card came called golf never heard of it tell now and i can say i liked it it was pretty fun and simple. We all played tell about 10:30 then called it quits.
