10. Building harnesses to attach radio transmitters to birds (cool to see the finished product, very tedious to make - the bird's legs go through the loops, and the transmitter (not yet attached) rests on the bird's back)
9. The most ridiculous looking onesie we found at the station (and yet very warm)
8. My "mom" moment with the kids sleeping in the back on our drive to Kona
7. Car bombs, Bailey's Brownies, and a game of Munchkin for St. Patrick's Day (still in bed by 9pm :-P )
6. Relaxing at the beaches in Kona (a day after a shark attacked a man at the one we went to)
5. Gin and tonics from some weekend visitors. Lots of them.
4. Whale watching (We saw around 15 whales, plus a number of Bottlenose dolphins! The captain said our day would have been considered good for the middle of the season - right now most of the whales are headed back up to Alaska)
3. I found 3 nests! An I'iwi nest, a Japanese white-eye nest, and an Apapane nest. I also found another I'iwi nest, but technically it had already been found.
2. We beat the project's single-day banding record - it was 49, and we had a day of 58!
1. We caught a Barn Owl! (Only the second one to be caught on this project.)
