From August 18 to September 18, I worked and lived on Stratton Island. Jenny was the Supervisor, I was the intern, and Stella was the Volunteer Manager. We ran a fall banding station with 7 nets in the mornings, did shorebird surveys at high tide, and Jenny and I did some invasive plant control with the lovely and charming plant known as Oriental Bittersweet.
