My son helps a volunteer erect a tall mist net
Today I took the kids over to Braddock Bay Bird Observatory, or more specifically to the Manitou Beach Banding Station, which is located on the near-shore area of Rochester, NY, just south of Lake Ontario. For 25 years, volunteers have been banding birds during spring and fall migration. I went to observe the process and interview Professor John Waud, a professor of Environmental Science at Rochester Institute of Technology, for an article I’m writing on migration.
In the name of micro-blogging, which works great when one is on deadline for one’s day job, I posted several photos from that day, with captions, to a public Facebook album. Click that link to take a look. I also micro-blogged some informative tweets through Twitter @lkamms.
(As an aside, I would like to measure the collective FUN the world’s people have experienced at pronouncing Twitter, tweets, twits, tweeps, and all its variations. Way to go marketing folks at Twitter!).
