Bears and Birds Don’t Mix

At one of our banding stations, Crane Flat, we had some trouble with a bear coming after our nets. Unfortunately, I did not get to see it. We had to close a few of them, and Alan, another intern, had to it away by clapping and shouting curses at it in Spanish. Other than that, we got some great birds. My favorites were the Lazuli Bunting, Western Tanager, and Red-breasted Nuthatch.
