Halfway through my CLM internship experience and the \u201cTo do\u201d list has been lengthened greatly. During this past week of respite I\u2019ve realized exactly how busy things will be when I return to work. However, the fact that I have recently returned to the field (with great care not to aggravate my still perplexing injury) has alleviated most of my worry.<\/p>\n

The abundance of work doesn\u2019t mean we\u2019ve been neglecting our duties. In fact, just last week we completed this year\u2019s survey plots in the study of Greater Sage Grouse habitat suitability. This was a large project and it feels fantastic to open up so much time for other work. We also recently finished our fence line surveys for the summer after walking miles and miles of fences to record raptor perch locations.<\/p>\n

I have also been lucky enough to join the USFS on some of their electro-shocking expeditions, where we waded through the chilly mountain streams and collected the local fish for measurements, and a brief survey of some pellet surveys in treatment areas. During some upcoming weekends we will be joining the recreation crew at some BLM sites to provide some wildlife education for children and I\u2019m also looking forward to helping with some trail maintenance on National Public Lands Day.<\/p>\n

All in all, things have been pleasantly busy and interesting. The diversity of projects ahead has me excited to get started on the second half of my internship and see what new things I can learn!<\/p>\n
