Hello, I\u2019m Javelis! I\u2019m the rising second year vet student joining Marg this summer in the Lake County Aquatic Team! It\u2019s only been 2 weeks since we started, and I feel like I have already learned so much.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This week Marg and I joined the USDA in trapping and assessing turtles in one of our field sites. It was a very hectic week with long days, but I enjoyed the challenge of working efficiently at a fast pace. I\u2019m slowly finding my rhythm now of how I like to do things and getting more proficient when performing health assessments, blood draws, collecting swabs, and running lab work. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of my highlights this week was seeing a sandhill crane mama and her beautiful nest while we were checking our traps along a stream. I had never seen a sandhill crane nest before and I was so amazed. It\u2019s so marvelous how much wildlife I have been able to appreciate in between turtle encounters every day. As bird people, Marg and I have truly enjoyed moments like this.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll see you next week!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
