Back to TICO TOWN

My name is Elise Tellez and I am on my way back to Costa Rica for the second time, only this time as the field assistant. This next school year I will be a senior graduating with a B.A. in Biology and a concentration in Environmental Studies. As of right now I am just trying to soak up all of the field experience I can get.  Hopefully I will be of help to all of the students this May-term.  Last May-term I participated in the Bird project group, so I am excited to see what kind of changes in growth the forest has undergone and how it may have affected changes in the bird diversity.  

I am very thrilled to be apart of the Field Ecology project again.  The class started off with a great first week of prep and now they appear to be ready for the real deal.  It is apparent that all of our project groups have a lot of great goals set and I can't wait to see the results.    

I'm also a big soil nerd so I can't wait to see what the habitat and invertebrate groups do.  I definitely am looking forward to working with them.  

Off to bed now, with a big day ahead of us! The next time you hear from me I will be singing PURA VIDA!!!

p.s. I will be missing Kelly Nelson and Hector Quijada
