    Fall 2026 Bird Strike Surveys

    No birds on the walk today, but i did watch one fly into a window and then fly away (seemingly) unharmed. I think the storms last night might have prevented some of the birds from moving through.

    Tabling at the Insect Festival

    This was an awesome event. We showcased crayfish, hellgrammites, and various other aquatic insects to thousands of people. It was really fun seeing the kids light up when they saw all the live critters we had on our table.

    AFS and TWS Volunteer Hours

    We collected crayfish, hellgrammites, and other insect larvae in preparation of the upcoming Insect Festival at the Pauline Whitaker Animal Science Center on Saturday! We collected SO many crayfish. I think our booth is going to look awesome!
