Hisssssteria in Cave Junction

Our most recent field study took us to French Flats near Cave Junction, Oregon. We were lucky enough to enjoy sunny and warm weather while surveying Lomatium cookii, a southern Oregon endemic parsley. This little guy was a little upset we were surveying in his territory. He gave us a show and then went on his merry way. Unfortunately, we were not able to record sound with the video,  but he was shaking his rattle at us.
