Hi Nell. I'm Mke LeBaron? I worked on the WISSARD project last year. When I read about your project, it reminded me that there are no spiders in Antarctica! I have nothing against spiders, but not dodging webs is OK with me. I really am looking forward to your project and seeing the role of spiders in the Arctic food chain (web?). It will be a great addition to my AP Env Sci class next spring.

Have a great time! (Maybe WISSARD for the loons name?)

Hi Mike!The loon was finally named ELOONor (my first name is Eleanor), so keep an eye out as she will show up in a few photos! I'm just settling in at Toolik and starting to learn the ropes, so give me a few days and I'll be writing some more interesting journals!
Thanks for reading!
