I've decided I'm going to keep up with this blogging thing, since I'll probably be spending the next year or so in the field(s). I spent last summer at the Pymatuning Laboratory of Ecology in northwestern PA doing research on aquatic ecology.
I decided that post-graduation I wanted to take a year to work before going to grad school. I originally planned to save some money, but then I realized I want to make sure that I'm doing what I want to be doing. I was a little worried that I just wanted to go into ecology because that's what I've done for the past two and a half years.
Today I accepted a summer job working with Fish & Wildlife at some refuges on the Mississippi River. Specifically, I'll be living near St Catherine Creek, which is outside of Natchez, MS. I'll be doing bird surveys, bat monitoring, wood duck assessments and banding, and invasives control. I'm hoping I'll get a feel for resource management, and for Fish & Wildlife.
