So I went back out the field today and the leopard was nowhere to be found. For the better I suppose, because I finished this round of field work but still, I was a little disappointed approaching the tree with my camera at the ready. We did have to chase of a hyena that was snooping around but it didn’t stick around long enough for a good shot.
Here are a couple of pictures I took waiting for the leopard yesterday. Just a few more nice pictures from the field. I’m headed out in minutes to go catch some grasshoppers for phase 2 of my research. This part is going to be much more experimental, and somewhat less likely to work, so keep your fingers crossed. I’ll let you know what I’m doing once I start actually doing it.
