Welcome!

Welcome to Sprayberry's Environmental Biology Blog. The idea behind this blog is two-fold: 1. It will give students a place to come see a brief synopsis of I see as the main points behind each lecture and activity; and 2. It provides a forum for anonymous feedback. Feel free to post any comments/ critiques / issues you have with a lecture or topic. You can post comments with your own blogger identity, or leave them anonymously. I will check comments regularly. See you in class...
