A Heermann's Gull dropping its prey to peck at it. These crustaceans must have been awfully tasty given how many of them the gulls were digging up in Monterey!
This is the other side of the fjord, where Urnes stavirke located. Here, we dug out a 55 meter-long house from the Iron Age. The house was located where one can see that the surfaces is flat and the soil is slightly darker. All holes are postholes we have excavated.

In June 1984 I participated as a voluteer on a dinosaur dig in South Dakota sponsored by the South Dakota School of Mines. After the dark brown bones were exposed, they were impregnated with a glue solution and then coated with white plaster jackets to protect them before being lifted out of the ground. Most of the fossils we found were the long leg bones (11 of them) from at least 6 individual hadrosaur (duckbilled) dinosaurs. We also came up with a vertebra or two from a triceratops and a tooth from a meat eater. Still not sure what kind of a depositional environment this was since we had moslty large heavy bones and no whole skeletons, but the matrix was just silty clay - no rocks or gravel.

This chap was digging for sand worms off Egremont Promenade, not for victory! 😄 Still, quite a task on a blisteringly hot day!
As it rained all friday afternoon, well into the night, I found my digging hole to be full of water on saturday morning. Not a problem, as I had another project that needed to be finished.
By sunday, the puddles had receded, leaving a small amount of mud here and there.

Installing a rain garden at the bungalow. First step: dig out ~9 inches of soil in the ~100 sq ft garden bed. 6 inches of that will be replaced (with compost + soil, then a layer of mulch).
Monarch butterfly populations have experience a dramatic decline in recent years. One of the issues is a decline in the amount of milkweed on the landscape, the only plant eaten by monarch caterpillars, making it fundamental to the future success of this species. In reaction to the decline, the Service is working with partners across the nation to plant more milkweed.
In western North Carolina, the Asheville Field Office has worked with Monarch Rescue, Toe River Valley Partnership, and several other partners, including many school, to plant pollinator gardens. Students at Yancey County’s Bee Log Elementary School recently came out to plant a pollinator garden behind their school.
