Consultant — Guanacaste, Costa Rica
I assisted my lab-mate Alejandro Salinas-Melgoza in his PhD work on call learning in Amazona auropalliata (yellow-naped amazon). I helped develop and implement techniques to capture adult bird, and taught the team how to rig aerial mist nets, how to extract parrots from the nets, and how to handle them. I also learned how to radio track collared birds.
