Photos of Field Biology
By Noel Dodge

                Greetings! Welcome to my page of field jobs. I designed this page to share photos I have taken while in the field on various field Biology jobs since graduating from The University of Vermont with a degree in Wildlife Biology. I was given a digital camera in 2003 and as you will see I have put it to good use over the last six years. I am now on my third camera. Photos were taken with a Nikon Coolpix 885, 3.2 megapixles, Fujifilm S5200, and finally a Fujifilm S9000. The new camera has taken many of my 06/07 Bobcat photos as well as all the Buzzards Bay pics..

-Red text indicates an addition to a page. I will try to keep working on adding photos as well as pages for previous jobs.

• April  24 2008: Quick update on my adventures....(sorry no new pics yet) Suzanne and I traveled to Washington state in January to work for Washington State Fish and Game as salmon surveyers for the month of February. Basically we interviewed every salmon fisherman (Chinook) at our designated launch ramps and scanned any fish they caught for CWT (Coded Wire Tags) and collected the heads of salmon in which we found them. The season was only for hatchery salmon which is where they got the tags. After the season was over we stayed in WA opting not to drive back to VT (gas prices) untill we got a job and lo and behold we scored a sweet gig in Alaska! We will be leaving for the North Slope in late May to study shorebirds in the Oil Fields. You can learn more about the project here Wildlife Conservation Society Arctic Project and here Western Arctic Alaska: Opportunity for Conservation. I found a cool  map of Alaskas sea surfave temp on the NOAA site; check it out.

• December 02 2007: Ok I finally got around to updating this thing, it has been a while. I started with an update to the Bobcat page, loading up all my pictures from the 06/07 season. Next up will my second season in the Goshutes (killer Golden eagle pics) and then  photos from Maine. That will be a major undertaking as I have a ton of pics, so please be patient! Thanks, enjoy!
