With Poppy, Redwood, and Sequoia flying around campus, our updates are likely to become more sporadic. We will still try to document any sightings on camera, but can’t make any guarantees about where they will choose to spend their time!
This has been a truly amazing year and we wanted to take a moment to thank everyone involved in this project. First and foremost, we’d like to thank Annie and Grinnell and all their fledglings, including this year’s: Poppy, Sequoia, and Redwood.
In the non-feathered category, there is an army of people and institutions who made this happen. This year, we would like to especially thank the Office of Chancellor Christ for funding a permanent network line. With their support, we will be able to stream these birds for many years to come!
