Week One

[underwaterharfe]

Well, I did it again. My schedule has once again changed, and this time it's just that I've dropped the Microbial Ecology course. I would have loved to take it, but with the other three I'm in that's definitely not about to happen and go over well. That leaves me with OCEAN 220 (field oceanography, hitherto referred to as "Oceanography"), BIOL

Do you still have your bio 180 lab manual? If not, do you know someone who does? I need it for a lab I'm supposed to lead at Garfield.

I... don't. I know someone (Gwendolyn Hannam) who took it this last quarter and who is in oceanography with me, so I'll check with her and see if she might be able to lend it.

Who teaches the bird class?
I took a bird class with CFR with Dave Manuwal who rocks my socks (now he's my thesis advisor). For that class we also had to learn a fuck tonne of birds and also their calls. The best place to practice is the Union Bay Natural Area. They gave us a cd of bird calls .. you'll probably get one too, I'm guessing. We had a field trip in eastern washington and two of my friends and I just drove up together instead of taking the school vans. We saw a red tailed hawk which happened to be on the CD so we rolled down the windows and drove really slow up and down the road blasting the red tailed hawk call to try to call it in .. yeah, totally didn't work but it was fun being bird nerds. As far as monitoring a birds nest, in UBNA there are birds galore and if you follow the walking trail down to the water, ther used to be a tree there with baby bald eagles. The babies would be gone, I'm sure, but there might be more there now.
