Hello all, I'm posting with permission from Will Cook.
Morgan Tingley is a post-doc in my lab, he's a fantastic guy, and he needs
a field assistant for a fantastic project in the Great Smokies (Tennessee
side). He'll pay you well too! Feel free to forward around or pass along
to talented, competent birders.
Good birding all, send some of your early birds up this way.
