This summer four Sagehens (Jeffrey, Nicole, Leo and Kyle) are studying the seabirds breeding on the offshore rocks of the Sonoma coastline at Sea Ranch.
Sea Ranch Welcomes Back Sagehens
Assessing status of the seabirds.
Diane explains the protocols to Jeffrey, Kyle and Leo.
The project started this past weekend with three full days of “bird boot camp” with Diane of the Madrone Audubon Society and Jim from the Bureau of Land Management introducing the four to the project. The students are supported by grants from the Pomona College Summer Undergraduate Research Program, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the Madrone Audubon Society and the Bureau of Land Management. Photos in this post were taken by Nicole’15. Congratulations Nicole on your graduation!
