It's always a good day when field supplies arrive in the mail. Clockwise from bottom left: teflon ribbon for harnesses, suede gloves for bite protection, Zip Kicker accelerant for drying superglue on harnesses, 60" wing rules (the longest available), Porzana pliers, and 5 kg Pesola spring scales (also the largest size available). The only measurement supplies missing from the photo are a cloth measuring tape for culmen length, calipers for tarsus length, and a pillowcase for weighing. We're almost ready to catch some pelicans! Considering they're already starting to nest at one of the Texas sites, it's not a moment too soon.
(I do realize it's a little dorky to pose field supplies for group photos. Am I going to stop? Probably not.)
