Album of Mill Creek Field Trip

Selected photos from the spider collecting field trip to Mill Creek, a foothill forest site near a mountain meadow that we couldn't reach, south of Leavenworth, Chelan County, Washington on 26 April 2007 with Laurel Ramseyer and Rod Crawford. Photos by both, as credited. The season was a bit early here and time was short, but we managed to supplement a previous small sample.
