I've already mentioned how amazing the trees are in Yosemite. The Sugar Pine (Pinus lambertiana) has the biggest pine cones I've ever seen.
On the East Coast, the Longleaf Pine (Pinus palustris) has the biggest cones, and these are the biggest I've seen so far in Yosemite. I hope I can bring some home with me.
I am currently a graduate student at William & Mary studying the effects of mercury on birds and bird populations with The Institute for Bird Behavioral Studies (iibbs). I started this blog before summer 2009 to keep people up-to-date on my summer internships with the Institute for Bird Population's MAPS Program. I will be using this blog in graduate school to stay in-touch and blog about science.
