2010

Thank you everyone for your support this past season.  We were able to collect much more data concerning the Pitayal again this year.  Thanks for the great work of this year’s field crew; Margaret, Ben, Mandy, Aaron, Teresea, Jesse, Juliet, and Eric.  AWA was able to band many more birds this year including a few species we haven’t recorded in the area before.  Including: Clay-colored Sparrows, male Varied Buntings, White-collared Seedeaters, and others.  We had a very busy season with many guests and visitors.  There were issues with the road and ineffectual agricultural irrigation, but we hope next winter will be much easier.  Some strides were made with the local government concerning future reserve ideas.

This upcoming winter (2010-11) will see many new improvements at the field station.  Including; a new van, a new palm roof on the big palapa, and other projects that will require an increase in funds.  Stay tuned for more news.  Thanks.
