Season wrapping up

I'll be leaving in 10 days. Most of my colleagues have already left, and all but two will be gone by the time I fly out of Pensacola on May 30th. I'll still be posting to the blog, though, so please continue to visit. If anybody has any questions about the results of our search, I advise they visit the Auburn University site I link to on the home page of this blog.

Here's a photo of our remaining crew of 10, the toughest holdovers from a high of close to the 30 at the apex of our search:
