Around the lab at SERC

This year, I've moved my home (to Washington, DC), my job (to Smithsonian Environmental Research Center), and my field sites (to the Chesapeake Bay), with many of opportunities to see coastal mid-Atlantic flora and fauna. Maryland and the Chesapeake Bay are rich with life - here are a few photos. (Of course, I've yet to catch on camera many good sightings - blue-tailed skinks, great blue herons, bald eagles, swallowtail butterflies, luna moths, and watersnakes, to name a few. More photos will come later!)
