We started out by learning the new Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring (AIM) strategy to collect quantitative information on Sagebrush habitat. During that time I got to meet a few other interns that work with our Range and Hydrology staff from the Casper Field Office, where I report for work everyday. We all worked together to learn the new protocol within the Stagebrush Steppe Ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/dev-clm-blog.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/20160621_121206-1000x288.jpg\" alt=\"20160621_121206\" width=\"584\" height=\"168\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For most of my internship I get to work with wildlife, which is a great experience. I have done a lot of nested frequency surveys to check Greater Sage Grouse habitat. I have also been doing raptor nest and artificial nesting structures surveys during which I got to see many red-tailed hawks, golden eagles, and ferruginous hawks with their young in nests.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/dev-clm-blog.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/20160630_091242-1000x288.jpg\" alt=\"20160630_091242\" width=\"866\" height=\"262\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I also got to participate in an Environmental Education Day, where I taught children about ecosystems and food webs.
