    Fall 2025 Bird Strike Surveys

    No birds on my walk today! It was a beautiful morning. Perfect temps. Apparently there was a big flux of birds that migrated south last night, but they must either be learning how to avoid buildings or some other phenomenon is happening!

    A good morning to do another bird walk. No birds on my route today. Starting to think birds don’t exist!! Ha. Just kidding.

    Fall 2025 Bird Strike Surveys

    I did an abridged version of the walk today. I checked all the courtyards and skywalks on the main portion of campus. I didn't find any birds. Almost halfway through the bird walks for the semester!

    Beaver Lake Volunteer Day

    I had a great time. I think our group (8 people) got about 12 bags full of trash. We also helped solve a crime (IYKYK). This was a great way to help the environment and take part in a great community of helpers. I would definitely do this again! We also got to see an owl release, there was free lunch and ice cream, and the partner booths were fun to chat with. Awesome way to spend a Saturday morning.

    I did the north part of campus today with Caleb. No birds on our route, even though a massive overnight movement of birds was predicted to have traveled through the area.

    First bird walk of the semester! I was the only one this morning, so I did an abridged version of the main buildings on campus.

    Hillfest Booth Volunteering - AFS and TWS

    It was a warm day, but super successful tabling event for AFS and TWS! We got a few people to sign up for the GroupMe and HogSync pages, so that is wonderful! I'm glad we were able to show off our RSO to students.
