A couple of spindly uprooting Quaking Aspen kills today. Of course it started to rain and the wind started kicking. Opted for spurless removal since they were leaning so hard. Up, down, paid.

So every year I do research climbing for the College of William and Mary and the Center for Conservation Biology. I assist with the National Park Service Bald Eagle Restoration Program. We hike in and I climb and enter the nest to move the baby eagles down to the biologists for DNA sampling, Tagging, Blood Tests, and a physical. Sometimes they put radio trackers on them. I do this all over VA and MD in the Chesapeake Bay and Patomac River basin. Once the Biologists are done they send the eaglets back to me and I put them back into the nest. This was on NAS Patuxent River this year. 2 chicks in this nest. This is the male who asked me for a selfie with him. Naturally I agreed. Far be it from me to disappoint a juvenile member of the National Bird family. There's a ton more detail of what we do but that's the cliff notes version.
Contract or volunteer?

Any more need around the country, @Steve Connally ?
 
Bigger removal for the day. 20" bar was barely enough to cut the butt log. Had major breakouts and decay pockets that weren't compartmentalizing. Being over a busy pavilion and parking lot, and near a jungle gym, it was time to go. Heavy heavy heavy.

Not a tree pic, but our family grew a little more today. We got a mini Stella, his name is Steele. Stella is 12 and is starting to go deaf. She's been the best dog, and we had been talking about finding a worthy successor for her to help her in her declining years. He looks just like she did when she was 5 months old.

I’m proud of this because we’re just a couple old guys doing a few jobs a year, so it was big to us. It has a split at the base. Went smooth. We’ve learned a lot from our mentors and peers over the years. (Illinois boys)

That looks like a disgusting Siberian Elm.
Actually a big dead scotch pine. Only like 50 feet tall but 36" dbh. Thought it might be hollow so opted to avoid rigging chunks but it was fairly solid. Been dead at least 3 years. In a cemetery with headstones at the base of it. Went off without a hitch, two new groundies/apprentices and my wife and kid watching the whole time. Happy happy happy
