July 12: I am excited to work with CVNP biologist, Meg Plona, and volunteers who conduct weekly counts as citizen scientists at Indigo Lake and Terra Vista in the park.  CVNP is part of the Monarch Butterfly Sister Protected Area Network, an international effort to conserve monarchs.

Teacher-Ranger-Teacher Chuck and I collected dragonfly larvae at rain swollen Tinkers Creek on July 17.  We were joined by fellow teachers and students to record mercury levels and send larvae samples for identification to The University of Maine, "Six-legged Scouts" dragonfly study.

The creek was so high!  The current was rushing rapidly.  I thought I would fall crossing to Chuck.  I am proud that I found the only dragonfly larvae that afternoon!

It looks like you put in a long day's work Ranger Ro! Congrats on catching the dragonfly nymph. It's tough to find these critters with all the rainfall this summer.
