My experience on Earthwatch's Bird Songs of the Olympic Peninsula was excellent. The scientists and my team members were all quite knowledgeable and experienced which made the project even better. When we were served food it was always well made and given to us as sanitary as possible. The living accommodations were very good considering how COVID changed things. The field work was exciting and never felt dull even with the wet and rainy weather. Overall, my time spent on this expedition was amazing.
