My name is Peter March Wong. I live in Olympia, Washington. I like true things, and I like to climb trees. This is the story of how I re-created an Olympic rain forest habitat in my bedroom with tree branches and broken tree trunks and forest lichens and a garden hose. And how I caught bronchitis and went to the hospital for a week.
I did not achieve what I set out to do in my forest laboratory that I created in my room in the house with the blue mailbox. But I did discover something new to science. I discovered a new genus of lichen. This story does not start with the lichen though, and it does not start with me moving a tree and a garden hose and a fog machine into my room.
The story starts with a marbled murrelet.
I am eighty-seven feet up in the tree when I see it. A darting dark shape. It is almost certainly a marbled murrelet. I check my hold on the rope and the tree. Then I lean to the side and put a small note in the field notebook: MM, 6:47 AM, NOV 1.
