Birds in hand

Scrub wren, fairy wren, and a thornbill that we caught

Catching Birds

Birds we caught in mist nets. Tonya is studying scrub wrens and how they communicate so you have to catch them and band them to know who each bird is. I helped set up nets and monitor them, as well as documenting.

Tilba Bird list

The birds we saw in the yard there

Tilba Cabin

Camping on the beach

My campsite on the cliffs above the beach!

Foreign Pirates!

British and American factions commandeer an Aussie vessel. It was fun!!

Wombat Crossing!

We searched for wombats but didn’t find any. Don’t they look like they’d be cute, though??

Blurry pics of monotremes (Egg-laying mammals)

Platypus and Echidnas are the only 2 egg laying mammals, and I saw them both within an hour or so..
