Following are some photos of the five wonderful people
who busted their butts for my project in the field in Brazil
and who kept me going when it got rough.

Thanks you guys!!!!!!!!
 

1999: Shannon Chestnut, Queens University

Shannon fishing on Baía Piuval
Is that the Wicked Witch of the West???
No, it's dear Shannon on her bike, 
with Azulão, everyone's favorite hyacinth macaw!!!
Sarah & Shannon, tryin' to stay warm!

 

2000: John Harting, University of Illinois, and Lindsey Sterling, Western Montana College

John & Lindsey, ready for the field, in high style...
...and returning from the field, 
totally soaked and still smiling!!
