This is my goofy kid
He'll be starting his last semester of college in a few weeks, his major is Wildlife Management. He spent last summer and this working for a research group up in Maine, he traveled a lot last year but not too much this year. Anyway, he is waaaaay up in the boonies so this is the only picture he has sent, he has no computer access or even a cell signal. They are banding Loons and taking blood and feather samples. He mostly works with bats but is helping finish the Loon research before summer ends.
Anyway, here he is with his new friend the Loon.
Here are some from last summer.
I forgot what kind of bats these are, don't tell him that though or he will roll his eyes at me!!
This is a Barred owl that they accidentally caught in the bat nets
They stumbled across a Turkey vulture nest too! This is just a wee baby!! No worries, they have proper permits to be handling them.
Hope you enjoyed seeing what he will be doing for a living. I also hope the bats didn't scare you, I only posted the 'happy' bat faces. lol
