There are two young men now interning at the Draper Museum of Natural History for the new live bird program. As the building of the mews has been held up by very rainy, cold weather they offered to help out at IBR for a couple days. They are Nathan (l) and Pat (r) working hard at making the bunny barn entrance much better. With the rain and even melting snow, the entrance would be flooded. Thanks to these great guys there is now a step into the building, a level field in front and a ditch dug that will be filled with rocks so water will be either allowed to soak into the ground or diverted around the side.
Both of these men are students at the University of Wyoming in Laramie. Nathan, a former Marine, is studing Wildlife and associated programs. Pat is majoring in Zoology. Having such willing help is a wonderful thing and very much appreciated by myself and the facility. Thanks guys.
NOTE: This is near the end of May and you'll notice they are wearing warm coats and gloves. The temperature was in the 40s but with the wind and rain it was a miserable day to be working outside.
