Plummers Island Field Trip

Plummers Island
3 June 2007

There were 8 RTP students who braved the cool, cloudy, rainy weather to explore the 12 acre flora & fauna-filled wooded island in the Potomac River. The day held many surprises for the field trip leaders. Entomologist. John Brown's black light trap was stolen and the small mammal traps put out by vertebrate zoologist Al Gardner were empty. Weather significantly limited the collecting and observing.
