Survey Sunday!

One of the things I love as a resource manager is collaborating with our science director Dr. Shawn Clem on monitoring of wildlife. Luckily, my tenacity with treating in the field has proven my dedication and allows me to do bird surveys as part of the science program she is building. So this morning I am out counting birds which is data for the program and helps me understand the wildlife present and helps me in directing my management efforts. Pretty cool link between science and management right?! 

Plus I get to see beautiful sunrises.
