    Ever had class on top of the Eastern Continental Divide? There’s a first time for everything! Fun fact: the cliffs pictured behind us feature a set of high elevation caves that serve as nesting sites for peregrine falcons! 🦅CH

    It was the perfect night for migrating birds and luckily we caught a ~2 year old Saw-whet female probably migrating south from up north. We banded her and took some body measurements to assess health, age, and sex. What a beauty 🥺🥺 -Hannah
