Tonight we went out on our coqui frog study... I spent 3 hours crawling on my hands and knees in the dark, searching for tiny little frogs. I had to wear a headlamp in order to see properly. Isn't it fashionable? Haha! We had to identify which species they were, and if they were adults or juveniles. My team focused on a 50 meter area. The team is trying to see if the coqui population is decreasing or not. It seems to be decreasing in many areas, but certainly not the one we were in... we saw about 500 of them! Some of them were so tiny they fit on my pinky fingernail! We also saw several other cool things, like a big scorpion, a stick bug (a bug that looks just like a stick), and a couple of clutches of frog eggs!
It's about midnight right now, and tomorrow we're taking a day off to go to the beach and into Old San Juan, so I won't be putting many photos up tonight. But you can check out Mr. Lafond's blog to see his cool pics! I'll be updating the blog again on Thursday.

Hey, you head light is so fashinable!! hee hee hee. It must be so fun in the rain forest. Oh- what is a juvinile? I have been out of town over the weekend, so I just got a peek today. I was in California to see my aunt get married. On my b-day was when we left so after the rehersal dinner, my mom, my sister and I went and splashed around. We only put our feet in.The finale wave splashed up the back of my legs and covered half my skirt and underwear! Wait, back to the rainforist! Is it hot? Is it fun?
Well, I gotta go.

Hi Miss Matheson, I just tried to send a comment, but I'm not sure it went through, so I'm trying again. Your headlight looks so fashionable hee hee hee. Has it been fun in the rainforest, because it looks like it from your blog. I've been out of town over the long weekend, so today was my first peek at it. I was in CA to see my aunt get married. Do you miss Roxy? She looked really cute in her outfit from the class. Are you eating the healthy snacks we got for you? I am excited to see your next entry. Just so you know, we had lots of fun on the last day of school, but we missed you. Ta Ta for now. Love, Becca
Hi Carrie!
I am constantly amazed at your adventures and talents! I will love to continue looking at your blog to see how you are doing. Can't wait until the August Bunko to see all the pics in person. Keep on trucking Gal! Joyce King

Miss Matheson needs to check if all of the comments are appropriate so it takes a little while for the message to go through.
