Our AmeriCorps River Scientist, Anna Shampain, is one of the luckiest staff members here at Sierra Streams because her work takes her out in the field quite often. Thankfully, she comes back to the office to share photos and tales so we can all live vicariously through her when we are stuck in the office. Here she shares some of her photos from her February fieldwork!

Photo captions: 1. Deer Creek raging at the Smartsville water quality monitoring site.  2. Grayson and Cameron doing what we do best; collecting water quality data along Deer Creek. 3. All of our February storms have made for some stunning waterfalls! 4. Winter gems! Some hardy succulents found along Deer Creek.
