Night Float

---

Today we did a biomass survey. We divided into groups and performed 3 tasks. We collected leaf litter and then weighed it. Then we counted the number of various sized plants in a 2x2 meter square. Lastly we named every tree within a meter of the trail for 200 meters. We also measured their diameter at breast height and estimated their height. The groups then pooled all our data and did absolutely nothing with it. We think our prof just needed to think of something for us to do. It was raining while we did this which made an already boring job that much more miserable. That night we went on a night boat ride. We went down the river trying to find any wildlife we could. We spotted a caiman. Which is like an alligator. We also saw nightjars (birds) and an enormous frog.
