For the last week and a half I've been madly doing the winter quarter of the salt panne sampling for work. I have 4 pannes at the GBNERR and 2 on Deer Island Coastal Preserve. Salt pannes are high salinity areas in the mid to high marsh that have fairly unique plant and animal communities. I've been working on the Deer Island pannes this week doing some small mammal trapping, so I thought I'd post a picture of one of my sites and one of the boats I get to drive--Deer Islands is in the background. Sometimes my traps are sprung by things other than mammals and I find a very colorful, pissed-off land crab.
