Finally, the net lanes are prepped and banding can begin! This adult male egigi here (or sometimes chichirika on Rota, or Micronesian Myzomela in English) was one of the first captures. Banded with permits and released as part of work with @instbirdpop.bsky.social 🎨🦉🌏🧪

What an incredible story: Meatpacking workers who speak 57 languages are ON STRIKE against the behemoth JBS in Greeley, CO. Reminds me of historical accounts of the Lawrence, Mass. strike of 1912, where workers spoke dozens of languages, and often sang to communicate.
