I love going back and seeing that I've apparently been taking silly process photos from the beginning.

I DID IT! I found some of my first prep photos. I am so excited! I'd really like this blog to be a pretty much complete gallery of my preps, and it's so nice to look back on my early preps and see how fare I've come too. Though honestly the early ones aren't as terrible as I feared, but I took a great class with a lot of phenomenal TAs who made sure we didn't botch any birds too badly.

It's hard for me to know for certain because I didn't keep the best records and both my first wing/skeleton prep and my first wing/skin were Ring-billed Gulls, but I'm pretty sure that the wing yesterday was from my very first bird and this is my second bird which was my first skin.

I love gulls so much! I should do more
