Surprisingly Warm Night for Final Lake Creek TAW of 2016 - December 10

Showing up in December is an act of complete solidarity for the continuous recording of Amphibian Watch data for every month of 2016. Yeaaaaa, Team!!

I am giving a big, hearty Thank You to Kathy McCormack for taking the lead yet again at Lake Creek for the December monitoring. Thanks to all seven people who came out: Kathy, Bill, Randy, Sandra, Hunter, Tonja and a first-ever TAW participant Virginia Palacios. Hunter and Tonja have been to Berry Springs and Devine, but this is their first time at Lake Creek – so welcome all.
