While school was out for most students a couple of young Rocky Point Bird Observatory volunteers spent their summer as interns, learning how to band passerines during the Fall Migration project that is currently underway.  We talk with Liam Singh and Rebecca Reader-Lee about how the intern experience has been and put them through a lightning round of questions.

The Fall Migration project is nearing the midpoint for this year and things are starting to pick up at both stations although on some days we have to wonder where are the birds? On this episode we let you know how things are going after week 6 as well as some of the surprises experienced at the stations.
