This week at the Stiles Farm, I continued to practice using a circular saw by making cover boards for our upcoming reptile/amphibian surveys. I continued baiting dove banding stations in preparation of our trapping season. I also continued the plant and vertebrate animal inventory of the property, where I enjoyed practicing my animal and plant identification skills. I checked and maintained our remote camera grid. At the end of the week, I assisted in working the farm’s main cattle herd and learned how to administer vaccines and put in ear tags.
