BTW: In case anyone didn't notice on Facebook, I managed to get myself a summer job! I'll be working down at Sandhill Wildlife area, about an hour SouthWest of Point, right next to Babcock, WI. I'll be doing habitat management/reconstruction and population censusing for the Karner Blue Butterfly (KBB). Doesn't seem all that interesting, but it's a federally endangered species and one of the wildlife areas I'll be working is the single largest population of them anywhere.
It's something I've been getting more and more interested in; working with threatened and endangered species. I'm still most interested in canines and diseases, but having the experience of habitat restoration and simply working with a federally endangered species is going to be good for future endeavors. ^^ I'm very excited.
Plus, although I'll probably be staying the week down at Sandhill in the "barracks" there, I'll be able to come home for the weekends.
^_^ If you're interested, my facebook profile pic is the KBB, unfortunately, not a photo I've taken.
