First day on the job.

This is Turin and Alli, writing from Irving, Texas. We are anxiously awaiting our departure from the Tower at 6:30 AM to Costa Rica. 

While in Costa Rica, we will be observing bird behavior and nesting habits. Turin has taken Gen Bio at UD, while Alli's last time in a biology classroom was four years ago in high school, so this should be interesting.

We have a rough outline of what we would like to study, but once we arrive at Leaves and Lizards we will know more about our project. As an interesting side note, we are both excited about trying mist-netting for animal sampling. 

Turin really likes learning about all the tropical birds, specifically the Toucans. Alli is interested in humming birds and finding trees that have stilt roots or buttressed trunks.  

We look forward to keeping you updated on our adventure!
