Sometimes @vcrlter bird survey teams embrace lagoon work too!
It’s classic @vcrlter for both captain and crew to compliment each other on being great. Today they even both sent photo proof. @VTShorebirds @soemhoffman

The past week was full of annual @vcrlter SET, RSET, and Marker Horizon sampling in the lovely Brownsville marsh. The SETs were installed in 1997 and the RSETs in 2003 along the creek bank and in the low, mid, and high marsh.
