His main focus is Gopher tortoise research but he works with everything he comes across in the field (just found his first Indigo!).
He has worked for many places (grant work usually) and has done work with bats, loons, salamanders etc. all up and down the coast.
He's gone all over and wrangled/researched all sorts of cool critters. He is having the time of his life, getting paid for it, working in his chosen field and just loving it!
I rambled, sorry, was just pointing out that there are all sorts of options.

i'd love to do something like that! i'm really bummed out that after all those college fairs my class went to none of them really offered anything like that. i always felt like my choices were limited by what was popular.
