    Hi Aimée! Fun to see your name pop up in the Molt Search dataset now, too! I’m delayed in responding, but wanted to say–absolutely textbook report! Thanks for the clear overhead shot with ruler for scale, and for spending the time over on the side of the island that doesn’t get much monitoring. It sure is valuable surveying over there. You’re right that your earlier attempt didn’t come through, so I’m glad you persevered. If you find it’s a recurring issue, just let us know and we can help you troubleshoot. – Lisa
