Some of you might know that slugs and I don't exactly get along, but I couldn't resist taking a pic of this Banana slug that was crawling around my first night out with the spotties
Here's a pair of spotties that were not exactly happy to see us! We had to entice the female (larger one) down with a mouse in order to change her radio tag.
Here Melanie and Dennis are processing the owl--getting measurements, point locations and replacing the shoulder radio tag with a tail feather tag. This is the final year of the study so this last year of movement data is particularly important.
The highlight...getting to hold a spottie before releasing her back into the forest. Notice the Michigan State U. sweatshirt--I was representin'!
And away she goes!
