Another damselfly resident of the watershed - the american rubyspot (Hetaerina americana). The red patches on the base of its wing identifies it as a male. He was checking us out from the water willow lining the bank. |

Wednesday morning I had an opportunity to join Greg Lipps on the South Fork to test a newpiece of equipment. I have had the pleasure of assisting Greg with research projects in the watershed over thepast five years focusing on everything from spotted salamanders to hellbenders. Along with Ralph Pfingsten, Greg is the foremost expert on salamanders in Ohio and is an encyclopedia of information on amphibian habitat and conservation. In this shot Greg is testing a new underwater video camera designed to fit into tight places like underneath large rocks in the creek. |

Can't wait to get my hands on one of these! Although it was difficult to see on the camera's smallscreen, we did capture some interesting critters hinding under the rocks - video coming soon! Thanks to Barbara Rogers for allowing us access the creek via her property. |
