"Field Reports" provides a realistic view of the art and science of field-based wildlife research. All of the photographs and video in these reports are shot "as is." That means that nothing is staged or rehearsed, and that cameras are often used in poor (or non-existent) light, in bad weather, or at long distances. Our intent is to show as authentically as possible what it is like to work with wildlife in the field.
