My first blog post! How exciting! Yesterday, Jen and I took a trip to Mammoth Lakes area to visit some hot springs and see some pygmy rabbits! Although Mono County, California is not one of our current regions for my PhD project, it was very exciting to see another couple sites where these cryptic lagomorphs occur- especially near Crowley Lake where we got to see at least 5 of them! This little cutie posed for us for a few minutes and I got close enough to see that someone had taken a genetic sample from it. We couldn't think of anyone doing pygmy rabbit work in this part of California (Bodie, Mono Lake, Crowley Lake), so if anyone knows anything please let me know because I would love to get in touch with them!
