Well, my time is up on the bird crew and I am finally able to start the job that I came up to do. My last day on the bird crew was great. Although the mosquitoes and black flies were bad. I still managed to follow an ovenbird for around an hour to map it's territory. Then we set up some mist nets and we banded two ovenbirds. We also caught a juvenile swainson's thrush on accident. Hedwig (boss) was fairly happy and told me:
"Emily for hating birds so much you did a good job". So I thought it ended on a really good note. At home we split a bottle of champagne and had banana bread for desert. I packed up my bags and moved to the campground so I am now officially part of the "swampdonkey" marten crew. Tomorrow is my first day and I am pretty excited.
