EVENT: Bird Mist Netting!




Sarah Hamer (a graduate student in the FW Department), will be taking the club mist netting this Sunday at Rose Lake. If you want to help set up nets, we will be meeting there at 6:30. If not, you can stop by between 7 and 10am. (unless there is a lot of rain)

The goal for this event is to demonstrate wild bird capture and handling techniques used in research. You will learn bird extraction techniques, identification, proper holds, measurements, tick-plucking and more! This is a great thing to put on your resume and is always a lot of fun!

If you would like to go, but need a ride, people will be meeting at 7am behind Natural Resources to drive. Rose lake is about 15 minutes northeast of campus. Here is a map for drivers:
