04 Aug A Farewell to Point Reyes
Greetings to my final blog from Point Reyes! As I am writing this, I only have three more days here. My summer sure did fly by, and I am eagerly looking forward to spending the upcoming week in Washington, DC.
In my last few days, I have been staying out late in the park, going back to all of my favorite spots one last time (fully aware I live just 90 minutes away). On one of these hikes, I witnessed North American river otters (Lontra canadensis) engaging in classic feeding behavior. And the next day, I swam alongside a Bat ray (Myliobatis californica) in Tomales Bay.
As well, this past week I have been busy putting the finishing touches on my final poster presentation for the workshop in DC. After many drafts, I am very proud of the finished product, so be sure to check it out below! All the Mosaics in Science interns will be meeting to present on the wonderful work we have all done and get to speak and network with Department of the Interior employees.
In looking back over my ten weeks, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Point Reyes and gained many new skills through hands-on work. Getting to know all of the dedicated park staff, especially the Division of Interpretation, has certainly given me a greater understanding of life working for the National Park Service. I am very grateful for having had this experience, and I eagerly look forward to returning to Point Reyes National Seashore.
