Yesterday we got out our last tags for our big hunting disturbance project! We're looking at how gunshots impact the movements of green-wings and mallards during the fall hunting season along the Illinois River.
This crew has worked VERY hard over the past two months to catch so many ducks!

It is my last work day of 2023. Wishing you all a Rail-y good new year, a happy holiday season, and a merry Christmas if you are celebrating like my Sora friend here :)
If you need me the next two weeks, I will be under a blanket reading a book

Many of you over on the bird site got to hear about Luna's antics over the past 13 years.
She was an opinionated, fluffy, loud gal who loved little kids, playing fetch and talking.
Sadly we said good bye to her this week. Our hearts are broken. 💔
