OUT!! #3: Summer Blog Postings

I'm going to try and do this more regularly this summer so you guys can get a feel for the kind of work I'll be doing on Chimon Island which is part of the Stewart B. Mckinney NWR. I can't really say what I'll be doing yet, but I do know that this is going to be a fun and interesting summer that will probably be a door into a world that I until now had only really had glimpses into. To know that I'll be working with wildlife and their habitats this summer is a dream come true.


Now all I have to contend with are the ticks. :(


I thought I would be doing to following for the summer, but it didn't work out. I won't go into the details, but island stewardship wasn't really on my list of things to do. Put simply, I need to find something else to do in the mean time. I'll still post randomly as the blog title suggests, but I need to take some time to figure out what I need to do next. Finding another field position is top priority and doing so within the next few weeks is paramount to my getting experience in the ornithological world. I also need to find a part time job since all the summer positions have expectantly dried up. Oh well, I'm sure I'll find something.

Edit: I have returned to Drumlin Farm for a fourth summer as a camp counselor. This will certainly keep me busy and spice up my summer. Stay posted for more details.
