Since then there have been some major changes here at the ol’ blog and we thought it was time to update everyone as to where we are at with this grand experiment in group bird blogging. One could say that knowing the science of birds can make the birds more interesting. He also blogs at Scienceblogs.com.

Erika is a first year graduate student studying Ecosystem Science and Conservation at Duke. In her free time she travels near and far to find birds to continue building her life list, though many of her favorites can still be found right in her own backyard. Banding is best done in teams split into three, potentially four groups.
