Maybe you\u2019ll see a rattlesnake!\u201d That\u2019s what I kept hearing before I left for my Conservation and Land Management Internship in Carson City, Nevada.  From the very first day of work we were out in the field for a range assessment.  My first three-day trip exposed me to the beautiful scenery of western Nevada.  My job requires me to get to know the vegetation; however I couldn\u2019t help but notice all types of natives.  While familiarizing myself with the flowering plants of the area to make note of future collection possibilities, lizards, jackrabbits and birds surrounded me.  I photographed as many reptiles as flowers that first trip.  On our third day in the field, I was participating in a noxious weed assessment near a creek in Bureau of Land Management pastureland.  I was following behind a fellow intern when I spotted my first rattlesnake! I couldn\u2019t help but jump when my eyes focused on the patterned back of this snake, but from a safe distance this rattlesnake was one cool creature.  This was our last day in the field for the week and as we drove back to the office I couldn\u2019t help but wonder what amazing things I will find in the weeks to come.  <\/p>\n<p>Lauren Shaffer<br
