Night Hike Tuesday July 10th

This evening we took a night hike. Wearing a head lamp has proved to be quite interesting, it leaves your hands free to take pictures though. Did you know that many animals have a tapetum? This is what makes it seem like your dog's eyes glow. Out in the field tonight we were able to see the glowing eyes of many insects, especially spiders. Who would have ever thought that there would be thousands of spiders watching you. It was a great experience seeing many spiders and frogs. One our way back we saw a kinkajou on the suspension bridge.
