My room and other stuff
Dead birds
I was bummed because two birds died in the nets this week. It happens, but its rare, so lets hope these are the only two birds of the season. But to be fair, the first bird, which was a beautiful species, happened to the Frontiers people who are volunteer students who were working nets at the same time as me and I was helping them since they were inexperienced bird netters. I didnt take the bird out of the net, so who knows. It possible was injured before it fell in the net. Other bird being a cool hummingbird which I just cant identify. Nicaragua is hard because so many species look different from their descriptions in the guides because they are not described for nicaragua and there is geographis variation.
Same stuffed one of the birds. I wacthed, it was pretty grisly, and we left it by the stove to dry, so lets see what happens. It might not work out, but he gave it a good shot.
I have other stuff to do, but sometime I will write he long story of FORO and Frontiers, and self interested comanagin cooperative of the reserve who wont help you get permits unless you work with the, ie they are going to try and make it impossible for groups to work through the UCA, and it looks like they want to sink the UCA. Why do people have to work in competition?

I had not read your blog in a bit, so I decided to take a look. Did you know that there is someone with wheresmelissa.blogspot? I was confused for about 10 seconds until I looked at the address. I wonder if that has confused anyone else? I hope all is well. I am now in Montana, and not quite sure how I feel about it yet. It becomes more like home everyday. You have to come here for a visit. I am desperate for familiarity right now.
