I thought it would be fun to share some photos I have taken from the job! I am field biologist, and as my job title entails, I work in the field! One of my jobs is monitoring endangered birds. I also work with small mammals, reptiles and amphibians, and other species. These are just a random selection of photos. I have many many more!
.
Warning - I am including some reptile photos as well. If you don't like reptiles, just skip over those, I'll post them last so you can see the others!
