Update post, inc. trip to Dyer's Bay

Hi all. I am back at the cafe using wireless internet. This might be the only post for the upcoming weeks/month as the birds are arriving next week, and after that everyone will be very busy and has less time for non-work related things.

While driving to the cafe this morning, my colleague and I saw an Eastern Meadowlark and 3 Wild Turkeys - both of which are lifers for me. I will share them next time.

Now, the usual views and creatures from the Fox Den (where we are currently housed). Once again, please click on the photos for more descriptions about each image.

And the field site and the place that we will be moving into next week.

On Friday afternoon, my colleague and I drove from our field site in Carden to another field site in Dyer's Bay to assist with the cage set-up over there. It was a 5-hour drive through beautiful landscapes and interesting little towns. What an amazing trip!

This is Cheetah, the happiest (farm) dog alive!

Stay happy!
