My favorite science experience was when I trained college and high school volunteers to measure birds for a scientific study. Scientists use a special kind of net called a “mist net” to safely catch birds to be measured and then released. We also put a little metal bracelet on their leg called a “band,” so if they are ever caught by scientists again, we’ll know how old they are and where they’ve been. Seeing how excited students were to hold a bird in their hands for the first time reminded me of why I pursued a career in science—my love for nature and wildlife and how much fun it is to study animals in their habitats!
