Day 58: Little Cayman
My biggest regret of the FSP is that I didn't do a project on the Montezuma Oropendolas at La Selva. I loved them, but I got intimidated at the thought of doing a project by myself. Data collection doesn't sound so bad, but writing an entire paper by myself seemed scary.
However, this is our last project on the FSP, and we have 5 full days devoted to working on it. I've enjoyed some of the projects I've done here on FSP, but I haven't felt extremely passionate about any of them, and only one of them has really felt like "mine." I'm sick of having my name last on every paper because I'm not willing to fight to have it higher.
So I'm plunging ahead and doing a project on Beaugregory juveniles, even though I'm probably going to be by myself. I know it's going to be frustrating, and a lot of work, but I'm hoping it will also be a rewarding experience.
