OWLING 8: THERE ARE OTHER BIRDS, TOO
”…blah blah blah-” ”…blah blah-” //
”-JAY!-” //
”-blah blah blah… ”-blah blah…”
Pöllösarjikset loppuvat nyt tältä erää, katsellaan seuraavalla kenttäkaudella josko tekisin lisää.
This is the last owl comic for now, let’s see after the next field season if I’ll make more.
OWLING 7: A COPSE BY ANY OTHER NAME
Tämä tapahtui syksyllä, myyräpyyntien aikaan.
This happened in the autumn when we were trapping voles.
”So, here’s the border now.” //
”Ditch.” //
”Valley…?” ”Dale?” //
”It’s all the same thicket!”
OWLING 6: DON’T TELL ANYONE!
”Here we go: four tawny owlets.” ”Good. Let’s start by weighting them.” //
”Oh no! It wasn’t hurt, was it?” ”Hey little one, are you all right?” //
”Sounds like it…” ”Well, that’s good.” //
”What are you laughing at now?” ”Not… hihihi… a thing!”
OWLING 5: THESIS SUPERVISOR’S GOOD DAY
”Eeek!” ”I’ve got the female!” //
”Everything ready?” ”We’re ready.” //
”420 grams…” ”Copy that.” //
”Now, let’s place a temperature logger under the skin of her belly.” ”Let’s do it.” //
”But… this one ALREADY HAS a logger!” ”She must be one of those two females we gave a logger two years ago! //
”Well, look at that! I thought she’d be dead since we haven’t seen her in a long time!” ”Hey!” //
”Today I got a grant AND found an old logger! This day will stay in my personal history records!”
OWLING 4: NATURE TESTS NATURE LOVER
OWLING 3: NOT SO FINAL FRONTIER
”Hey, look, a deer!” //
”There were three of them.” //
”Eleven ravens, a very nice thing to see!” //
”This became quite a nature trip!” //
”Well, let’s go then.”
OWLING 1: TODAY – PINE MARTEN!
Teen graduani lehtopöllöistä, minkä takia osallistun myös kenttätöihin.
I work on my thesis about tawny owls and take part in the field work because of that.
”So, now we’ll catch the female and set a trap for the male.” ”We’ll come back tomorrow morning to catch him.” //
”So there are chicks in this nest?” ”Yes, we checked it last week.” ”I think there were four chicks here.” //
”Hold the net tight so that the female can’t escape.” ”Right!” //
”Why doesn’t she fly already…” //
”Guess what? I pine marten has visited this nest and eaten all the chicks.” ”That’s the third or fourth sign of pine martens today.” ”Should we just change study species?”
TEN MINUTE RULE
”Hello!” ”It’s so nice that you could come and help me!” //
”Guests will be here in a hour. Would you slice these fruits while I clean up the living room?” ”Okay.” //
”Aaargh! The window is full of little dogs’ muzzle prints!” //
”Do I have the time to wash that window? Yes, I do, if I do it quickly.” //
”I’ll use ten minutes to do this and if it’s not enough then never mind.” //
”Hmm, ten minutes and if it is not enough then never mind… Sounds like a good principle.” //
”Can I use it for my master’s thesis?” ”LOL!”
DIAGNOSIS
”I so wouldn’t want to work on my bachelor’s thesis. I’m probably suffering from NANW.” ”What’s that?” //
”Not Able, Not Willing.” ”Yeah, I think I have that, too.”
