I arrived about 9:30 with Jaclyn. It was cool and breezy from the southwest with a few high thin clouds. The field looked brown for the bridge.

There was a bird of prey sitting on the intake tubing for the LGR, probably some kind of kite. Also there were some leftovers hanging off the intake and tower.

This was just a quick check to make sure the tower was running. All seemed okay. Soil heat flux plate #2 was reporting –inf and the theta probes were reporting -2 or -3 which seemd strange to me, but I need to look at the data.

There were some ants and spiders in the met data logger box. Maybe and a hole was left when the water pressure probe was removed last time.
