Today was going great until supper. I really need to plan exactly what I'm going to eat and then go from there. Will work on this tomorrow. And every day after.

I banded geese at work today. We had to round them up and trap them in a pen. It was hard to watch at times, because they're so scared. But it was really neat. They can't fly away because this time of year they're molting and we are mostly after the babies. They're a few weeks old now though, so they're mostly almost adult sized. They're kind of cute except they look really scruffy because of the molting. This would be kind of an interesting job to do though, if a bit stressful. Because we catch a whole flock in a little pen, the babies are at risk of getting trampled and the adults are at risk of overheating. So we have to work fast and get the babies out fast and watch the adults. If we have to, we just let some go without banding them.

Really tired now though.
