Serious Moments

At IBRRC, we have many laughs throughout the day (often when someone is struck by projectile feces or barf) and good times chewing the fat while we chew our lunch. You would never know it, though, from the photos of us when we have birds in hand, and the birds are at our mercy. Thanks, Jeanine, for sharing your photos.

Here, Monica and I assist Marie in washing an oiled Common Murre. He would have died from the large oil patch on his abdomen, but was brought back to health and released a week or two later. Monica is an intern from Norway, who just turned 20. I think IBRRC is the land of current and former redheads!
