Dr. Tom White’s update from the field
.
I just got back late last night from Chile and the work on the Slender-billed parakeet project. As you can probably imagine, we put in many days of long hours in the field, and with very good results. We placed a total of 11 transmitters on fledglings, and we also managed to capture and radiocollar 6 nesting adults, as well.
