All good things must come to an end.

8/2/2012

     On our last full day, we went to see Old San Juan.  It was a site to see.

     In conclusion, I learned alot from this trip.  Here is a rough list of things I learned :
Tagging techniques
Tag making
Following protocol/directions
Logical reasoning behind protocol
Team work
Data entry/check
Species Identification
Navigation through forest in the dark
     Compass, map
Finding established plots
Measuring radius of plots
Understanding relevance of census (data obtained)
Learning to develop questions relevant to area (abundance of lizards/snails/frogs/etc…)
Taking measurement
     In addition to all of this, seeing a new place and meeting new people was very cool.  It was also enlightening to learn that research such as what I participated in is going on.  I would do it again in a heartbeat!!
