http://birdbugsandknutie.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Livin' the Life of a Loxia. Adventures of a nomadic birder. Tuesday, June 2, 2009. Well, I thought I'd be "blogging" more, but I've been incredibly busy. Last Saturday we attempted to capture field and forest small mammals. We were successful catching several Microtus pennsylvanicus. Thirteen-lined ground squirrel) in the field with the mammalogy class. Then, we dropped the class off for brunch and dusted 1 Zapus hudsonius. Today was VERY exciting! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Livin' the Life of a Loxia: May 2012
http://birdbugsandknutie.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Livin' the Life of a Loxia. Adventures of a nomadic birder. Friday, May 18, 2012. I decided to revive my blog because 1) life has been interesting lately, 2) I hate writing things down in a journal, and 3) I have a terrible memory for details. About a month ago, I flew down to Trinidad. To start field work with birds and their parasites. My former blogs will explain more what I'm doing, but if you're feeling lazy, here is the short version:. Nest parasites were recently introduced to the Galapagos Islands.

Livin' the Life of a Loxia: Rain... glorious rain!! (Galapagos)
http://birdbugsandknutie.blogspot.com/2010/02/rain-glorious-rain-galapagos.html
Livin' the Life of a Loxia. Adventures of a nomadic birder. Monday, February 22, 2010. The following blog was written over a few days. The food is quite delicious but expensive. I had my first caipirhina, which includes sugar cane liquor, lime, and sugar. Boy my first drink here was strong. We stumbled back to the station giggling the entire way. Rain means food and food means breeding birds. The rain gauge estimated 1.5 inches in the past few days. This is fantastic for both Jen and my projects. After a...

Livin' the Life of a Loxia. Adventures of a nomadic birder. Thursday, December 31, 2009. Sometimes you just need an impulse purchase. (Mexico). Well, I am in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico! This was an impulse buy, but a much needed vacation in the sun. Chris. Invited me to join her at her friend, Patrick's. Woodpecker (apparently they refer to this bird as "loco"). Other birds we saw on the boardwalk:. Ring-billed gull (I think from far away). Monday, December 28, 2009. Ps I love Fringillidae finches :). Summe...

http://birdbugsandknutie.blogspot.com/2010/01/extreme-mist-netting-nebraska.html
Livin' the Life of a Loxia. Adventures of a nomadic birder. Monday, January 11, 2010. This is a video of a few field assistants and me catching cliff swallows near Cedar Point Biological Station. With Dr. Charles Brown. Last summer (2009). The primary goal of mist-netting these charismatic birds is to continue a long-term mark recapture study on the evolution of social behavior. I stopped through on my move to Utah. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. New Species of Warbler Found.

Livin' the Life of a Loxia. Adventures of a nomadic birder. Saturday, June 2, 2012. Your trash is my treasure! What are you doing? Tobagan on the street. I am looking for bird nests. I am a student and I study their parasites."-Me. There are no birds down here, you need to go to the rainforest." -Tobagan. This is typically the conversation that Jordan (my field assistant) and I have with local Tobagans. We are working on the effects of Philornis. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Livin' the Life of a Loxia: Galapagos Arrival
http://birdbugsandknutie.blogspot.com/2010/02/galapagos-arrival.html
Livin' the Life of a Loxia. Adventures of a nomadic birder. Tuesday, February 9, 2010. Well, I’m here. It is still surreal. I would say that Jen (my labmate who I am down here with) described the field work perfectly… but I’ll get to that later. We flew from SLC to Houston to Quito, spent the night in Quito, then flew to Santa Cruz, Galapagos the next day. Everything went surprisingly well besides ripping a huge hole in the crotch of my pants and Jen yelling out “the bomb made it! We are working at the s...
