Dixie Trip #2

We went out to Dixie Plantation for the second time on March 14. The weather was great; it was a clear sky with a lot of sunshine. We went to a few of the same spots as the first time, but we did not take the long hike. Instead, we spent a little time at the first traps and made our way to the more swampy area. In the more swampy area, we wadded in the water, and the gnats were going crazy around us. After we spent our time in the swamp, we got into the vans and went to the other side of the road. While at Dixie we saw some of the same species as the last time but we also saw some new ones, probably due to the seasonal change. Some of these species were types of plants including Winged Elm, Black Willow, and Sweetleaf. I thought that it was interesting when a few people in the group tried eating the Sweetleaf. Some of the animals that we saw included green tree frogs, northern hemisphere crayfishes, amphibians. Also with the animals, we saw some fish including mummichog, ray-finned fish, eastern mosquitofish, mosquito fish, and bluegill. Overall we had an exciting day out at Dixie Plantation.
