Today was a lot like yesterday, we spent time in the field testing ant reactions to bugs and collecting materials for an overnight experiment. The honeymoon stage is over, all of the strong personalities have begun to react. The soap opera stage has begun. I'm working on observing it, i.e. being aware but not involved. Wish me luck!
Today I saw a white-tailed hawk and a mangrove cuckoo (in an abandoned field, not a mangrove!) I also went the 4 km down to the river looking for some acacia and got to see 2 adult crocodiles swimming in the muddy water. An acacia ant stung me in my armpit. Those are pretty much the highlights of the day.

Hi Anne we miss you! We got 7 inches of snow yesterday, so be glad you are not here. :)
you are lovely in your photo!
that's it. I've got no animal spottings, no critters in my room except two cats... ok, critters I can get a look at easily.

Hey Annechen!
I just met another student who did OTS, between her stories and yours I think I'm definitely going to try to do it sometime too!
XO,
Christini
P.S. Good luck avoiding drama.
