Dan Mooney leads a group of student researchers and enthusiasts in bird research at the Bluebonnet Swamp each Sunday morning. Dan, a licensed Master Bander, spends five hours each Sunday catching birds in the area to document migratory patterns, bird demographics, health values, and recently blood samples to document mercury levels in the birds blood. The team's research on mercury levels has sparked the University of Oregon State to publish a full paper on findings that is expected later this year. This is what a research day looks like for the team.
