January has been busy!

January was a busy month at the field station this year.  The 2008 interns arrived and quickly got to work at a dizzying pace.  Bird surveys and vegetation sampling have been proceeding well with new species of plants and birds recorded for the area.  Including, Cassin’s Sparrows, Lincoln’s Sparrows, and a Parasitic Jaeger.  Boa Constrictors have been around the station brightening our days, and there have been some amazing swims and paddles with the Dolphins.  

The field station has had visits from people from the Huatabampo municipio, Pronatura Noroeste, and CONANP (Commision Nacional de las Areas Natuarales Protejidas), in order to discuss the proposed reserve with the people of Agiabampo.

Thank you to everyone who has helped support AWA through the program- ” one percent for the planet.”  If you are not familiar with this fantastic program visit our website under the ” Support us” page.  Personal donations such as these are what helps keep our organization work going.
