On Hiatus With Squirrels

Well, I've been since Sunday. My dad and I are camping up at Rock Creek Lodge, out of Bishop, and internet is understandably limited, when available at all. Not that it matters, I've scarcely had the time or need to use a computer at all. See, I spend the time up here helping study Belding's ground squirrels in a nearby meadow, with a team of graduate students and a professor from the University of Chicago. Today was my first full day of work, and I helped tag a number of squirrels and observe activity budget data (what the animal does at 10 second intervals). In short, alot of fun, more on it next week when I come home.
