bird banding

Here's Andrew with a Golden Crowned Kinglet that he's banding up in the mountains. He volunteers at a preserve with their full-time naturalist to monitor the birds who live there.

A New Home - posted by Laura

We move in mid-August to our new house in Johnson City, TN, just an hour north of Asheville. There are mountains and forest surrounding the city... very beautiful and lots of good hiking and camping. Andrew is starting a graduate program here at Eastern Tennessee State University to study biology with a focus on ornithology (birds, that is.) He's getting paid to go bird watching full-time...this is his dream come true. He has been working hard to get here...Congrats, Babe! You did it! We are looking forward to spreading out in our larger home, painting the rooms, creating an art space/playroom for the girls, and gardening. There will be two guest bedrooms if anyone wants to come visit...please do! Our new address will be: 712 E.Myrtle, Johnson City, TN 37601

Happy Father's Day

For your constant love, support, and kindness...We Love You!
Laura, Ramona, and Astrid
