Album of Johns River Field Trip

Selected photos by Rod Crawford from my 2 September 2020 spider collecting trip with Jerry Austin to the upper valley of Johns River, which meets salt water at the south corner of the mouth of Grays Harbor. It's one of those coastal, tidal rivers with a wide mouth but short length. We missed out on the tidal-marsh habitats I was hoping for, but nothing else went wrong and I believe we got an adequate sample (detailed ID will have to come later).
