Extra-faunal excursions
After long chats with friend Ron Abbott, I was lured into conducting distance sampling on a rare subalpine plant, the Weber's saw-wort (Saussurea weberi). This diminutive purple composite is found in high-elevation meadows tucked amongst willow and other wildflowers. Unfortunately, populations are few and far between restricted to CO, WY, and MT. The distance sampling pilot project (conducted at Horseshoe Cirque, top left) will be published in Southwestern Naturalist later this year. Photos by Susan Spackman-Punjabi.
