We are ecologists, naturalists, and bird lovers. Our work takes us amazing places--mostly to the wet forests of Central America and the gorgeous tallgrass prairies of the middle of N. America. We like to share some of the incredible beauty we see day-to-day as we collect data, provide a view of how biologists actually do what they do, and showcase all the cool critters that amaze us, and sometimes make us laugh.
