Album of Burn Hill Field Trip

Selected photos from a spider collecting field trip to Burn Hill, southeast of Arlington, Washington on 5 October 2007. A very good spider sample was taken in four hours along a powerline right-of-way zoned rural open space, in an area rapidly succumbing to suburban sprawl. Photos by Rod Crawford.
