Spent the day exploring a bit and writing a lot; found out I’m in Tom Langen’s FLP group, which is great! He’s an ornithologist, and the project is looking at habitat preferences of resident and migratory warblers. Perfect, because that means lots of time out birding, I mean “collecting data.” ☺ We went mist-netting this morning and I took a bird out of the nets for the first time. It was amazing, holding this light little feathered thing in my hand, feeling its heart beating. We got to look at a lot of birds up close.
The day’s list: wilson’s warbler, collared redstart, swallow-tailed kite, magnificent hummingbird, white-throated mountain gem, black-capped flycatcher, blue-and-white swallow, sooty-capped bush-tanager, yellow-faced grassquit, yellow-thighed finch.
