Last Sampling Helo Flight
Posted By: Jay_Davis, Dr. Kanatous on Wednesday, November 22, 2006
Hello Everyone:
Well it has been awhile since I blogged the site so I thought I would update you on today’s activities. Today we took our last sampling helicopter flight and our mission was to look for the ever elusive juveniles. It seemed luck was on our side as not only did we find our last of the 10 pups we wished to sample (our biggest to date at 107 kg) but alas, we also found a juvenile on our way back ‘home”. Both animals went smoothly and our three person team worked efficiently even able to get the ultrasound measurements from the un-molted pup – big props to Shane and Jay’s hair parting technique. Only a few sample days remain and we will keep you posted on our total numbers as the season ends.
Take care and thanks for participating,
Jay
