Been a while, semester is kicking my ... flesh.

Since last we spoke, I have been to a Lock and Dam survey. There were several agencies there: WVDNR, EPA, Army Corps Engineering, WVDEP... and us, WVU wildlife students. I have participated in the capture, tagging, and release of small mammals. As well as did some bird bandings, all in the same day! Used pyrotechniques and a netgun. Watched a raccoon be drugged and blood taken for rabies surveys. The worst? A coyote necropsy. Those things sat in black trash bags inside large freezer/fridge things. I nearly up chucked.
