Period 2 - May 15th 2024

Another nice, steady, low-volume day.

We hosted CalPoly students who provided many interesting (and many unanswerable!) questions. So nice to interact with young, inquisitive minds. To those students less interested in birds, we hope you didn't sustain as many mosquito bites as you seemed to have sustained... and that you enjoyed the fresh air.
