Matt Timpf, Dream Team member and field technician extrordinaire, has returned from Alaska and, being in need of a banding “fix”, has been (and will be) out at Ruthven over the next week. Here’s some messages from him:
Hi everyone,
I thought I would mention the days I am planning to be out at Ruthven over the coming week, as well as my contact information, in case anyone is interested in volunteering. I plan to be at Ruthven tomorrow (Thurs 16th), as well as Mon/Tues/Wed of next week (20th-22nd).
My e-mail address is timpf@hotmail.ca and my cell phone is 519-410-0361, if anyone would like to confirm. Texting is best as I usually don’t have the ringer on, but I frequently check for texts/e-mails.
Cheers,
Matt
