Tagging Vultures (the prequel)

The great Bulgarian outdoors.

Ok. So, I am leaving at 06.00 tomorrow morning for good old Motown. No, not Detroit - Madjaravo. It is a town of around 500 people and home to the Bulgarian Society for Birds.

'Hey Mark, do you have any experience with wildlife - particularly carnivorous birds - at all?'

Casey (a buddy of mine), myself, and some other volunteers are going to head into the woods and tag vultures. 'Hey Mark, do you have any experience with wildlife - particularly carnivorous birds - at all,' you might ask. No. No, I don't. But, you don't end up doing Peace Corps in Bulgaria by knowing what you are doing all the time. (It that a good thing?)

After that, is my host brothers wedding. The 25th of October. After the last one, I am a touch nervous; but, there really is no turning back. I will keep you up-to-date.

See ya,
Jackson
