Me with my green KN95 and barrier lab coat showing you all the bright red plates I was about to streak.
A tiny dark green frog sitting on top of a metal Sherman trap. We were in the middle of a bulrush marsh.
Me in full PPE (face shield, blue KN95 mask, gloves, and a lab coat). I’m giving a peace sign because idk how to pose for pictures.
A little vole pup, still with a pink belly and dark back. Its eyes are closed while it curls up on dry vegetation.
A colored camera trap photo of a coyote taking a stroll through a marsh edge.
Overlooking the edges of a desert wetland in the Mojave. There are scrubby bushes in the foreground. In the middle there are salt pans, water, and shorter grasses. The sun is casting beautiful reds and yellows in the partially cloudy sky.
An Amargosa vole. This is a small brown rodent with a white soul patch. It’s peeking over a gloved hand, trying to figure out what’s going on.
Me, a young Black woman smiling so hard. I’m wearing my headlamp and sun hat, my white zip up is pretty dirty from being in the field. The background features a lush desert wetland and mountains.
