These were an exciting two days as both teams went to El Garrapatero, our field site that is a ~45 minute taxi ride from Puerto Ayora. Both teams had no problems setting up the mist nets while watching the sun rise.

The terrain is still quite dry, so we didn't have a large number of birds, but we had enough to keep us busy processing them in the morning.

The Earthwatch volunteers took a siesta in the afternoon and were ready to get back to work in the afternoon where they entered the data they collected and helped restock supplies.

Thankfully, tomorrow is a day off for the hard working volunteers!
