Period 3 - May 25th 2023

Another great day, marked by our first bushtits for the season, joining us all together in a flock at Net 3.

A Lawrence's Goldfinch graced us with their presence, one of only 25 capture records of all time (i.e. since 2006)!

We were joined this week by 2 Cal Poly students, Emma Buckley and Mia Lindahl, and a penguin (!) biologist, Jean Pennycook.
