There\u2019s more of the boring old \u2018sitting at a computer\u2019 situation than I would like, but the \u2018measuring baby birds on a mountaintop\u2019 situation helps make up for that.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0cm 0cm 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">Now that field work is (mostly) over for the season, my situations are different, but not really less strange.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><b>Strange Room #1<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">In order to look at the genetics of the juncos, I\u2019ve been doing lab work in the Museum\u2019s Evolutionary Genetics Lab. Lab work was my introduction to ornithology as an undergrad, and I\u2019ve always liked it, despite the bleach and the potentially-toxic chemicals, and the way my nose always itches and I can\u2019t scratch it because I\u2019ve got latex gloves on. The colors, noises, and vocabulary of lab work are specialized and surreal: the stacks of plastic racks in bright red, yellow, blue; the whirr of centrifuges starting up, like tiny revving plane engines;\u00a0<i>aliquot, vortex, elution buffer.<\/i>\u00a0I like the contrariness of refrigerators and microwaves with NO FOOD scolded across them.\u00a0The concentration required to pipette the right amounts of the right reagents into the right tubes again and again and again makes it a kind of meditation.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><b>Strange Room #2<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">Less related to my research, but because it\u2019s a skill I should keep up and a service I can do for the Museum, I\u2019ve started prepping bird specimens once a week. The Museum receives donations of dead birds from the public: roadkill, window-kills, cat kills. The dead birds are prepared\u2014prepped\u2014as museum specimens, either as whole birds preserved in formalin or something similar (\u201cpickles\u201d), as cleaned skeletons, or as stuffed skins. I\u2019m planning to measure old junco skins as part of my own research.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Junco specimen skins in the Museum\u2019s collection\" class=\"responsive\" data-file_info=\"%7B%22fid%22:%228072%22,%22view_mode%22:%22default%22,%22fields%22:%7B%22format%22:%22default%22,%22field_file_image_alt_text%5Bund%5D%5B0%5D%5Bvalue%5D%22:%22Junco%20specimen%20skins%20in%20the%20Museum%E2%80%99s%20collection%22,%22field_file_image_title_text%5Bund%5D%5B0%5D%5Bvalue%5D%22:%22Junco%20specimen%20skins%20in%20the%20Museum%E2%80%99s%20collection%22,%22field_image_tags%5Bund%5D%5Btextfield%5D%22:%22%22,%22field_image_tags%5Bund%5D%5Bvalue_field%5D%22:%22%5C%22%5C%22%5C%22%5C%22%22%7D,%22type%22:%22media%22%7D\" src=\"http:\/\/insights.cactusglobal.com\/sites\/default\/files\/Strange%20rooms%201.jpg\" style=\"\" title=\"Junco specimen skins in the Museum\u2019s collection\" \/><br \/><em><strong>Junco specimen skins in the Museum\u2019s collection<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0cm 0cm 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">I\u2019ve prepped pickles, skeletons, and skins before, but it\u2019s been a while. On Wednesday I prepped a juvenile male Montezuma Quail skeleton. Unfortunately, the nicest-looking birds are reserved for skins, so if you\u2019re prepping skeletons you have to be prepared to work with not-so-nice specimens. My quail was further along the road to decomposition than I would have preferred. Still it was fun to admire his long legs and his secret long neck, and to open his crop and see the seeds and insects he had eaten.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0cm 0cm 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">The Prep Lab has bleach and oversized freezers and latex gloves like the Evolutionary Genetics Lab, and prepping can be meditative too, if smelly and bloody and punctuated by comments like \u201cI think my eyeballs are coming out.\u201d The Prep Lab has trash bins lined with red biohazardous waste bags and the largest bottle of dish soap I\u2019ve ever seen. It has a bucket filled with water in which skinned and gutted specimens soak; it has those same specimens, post-immersion, hanging from a rack to dry to jerky; it has aquaria filled with dermestid beetles, small dark insects which eat the jerky and leave beautifully cleaned skeletons with even the most delicate bones still in place. The best skeletons belong to the snakes, their many-ribbed bodies in sinuous curves inside their specimen boxes.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0cm 0cm 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">I imagine there are situations in any line of work that look strange.
