work update
For those of you who care:
2 more birds died from injuries, one broken leg, and one dislocated knee. I should have mercy killed the broken leg guy, but I thought I would give it a chance, and it just ended up suffering. But considering I catch 50 birds a day, three deaths in a month and a half isnt too bad. The university students came out for 10 days to work for me, and I didnt go back to Esteli for 2weeks, after granada, which is why I am so behind in writing, and they were great and worked really hard.
Some other rat cut one of my mist nets in half. In Half. And the loops on the sides that connect to the poles. Why? I have no idea. Just to do it, because it was some kid with a machete just being a jerk. I dont know if I can repair it, so I am one net down, and another still has big holes in it I need to repair. oh, yeah, and they cost $70, so not too cheap to replace.
