Turin and I started off the morning with finding two birds in the mist-nets set up by the Bird Brothers. Both Turin and I got to hold our first bird here in Costa Rica, a yellow-faced grassquit, and poor Austin got his hands pecked by a feisty smoky-brown woodpecker. It is a clear sunny day, so we are glad to be observing at dawn and dusk, and not in the mid-day heat.
We also solidified our plans for observations. We want to compare how the birds behave differently in the monoculture forests versus the real forests.
