black fronted terns


braided river birds

imagine getting paid $20/hr to jet boat 30 km up a river and then walk back down, counting birds. This has been my past week and next week hopefully as well!! the whole thing made much more exciting by having to launch oneself onto and off of a jetboat as it is drifting past in order to get to the next island. Amazingly, i have managed to do this without badly injuring myself (yet) - just a nice case of badly bruised jetboat knee.
