Unfortunately the end of the term study craze precluded any updates. Stone Lab is a great experience for field science, but it is also very academically rigorous. There's basically no reason to not attend Stone Lab if you can manage it.
That said, two Fridays we managed to catch some birds on South Bass Island. Including a cardinal. Unfortunately we didn't catch enough red-winged blackbirds off of Gibraltar, and only one cardinal in total so our experiment was basically a bust. This is part of the nature of Stone Lab, each year the labs are different and sometimes won't go as planned.
Regardless of the success of your labs you will still get to travel across Lake Erie to visit many of the islands.
You can see the photos from the trip to South Bass (including photos of the bird banding tools we used) here. Look for a few youtube videos in the next few days as I recap the entire experience now that I've had time to think on it.
