Selected photos from the spider collecting field trip to Hay Canyon, a tributary of the Wenatchee River north of Cashmere, Chelan County, Washington on 12 June 2007 with Laurel Ramseyer and Rod Crawford. Photos by both, as credited. Our brief visit to supplement a previous sample from the area attained its goal of 21 species, but nothing especially unusual was collected. Habitats included dense riparian foliage with bigleaf maple litter, and Ponderosa pine on the slopes, grading into meadow steppe above the canyon.
