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 2: THE DAY OF A LITTLE OWL RESEARCHER
Osa 1 täällä! // Part 1 here!

Nämä pöllöjutut tapahtuivat jo keväällä, huhti-toukokuussa, mutta olen saanut sarjiksia aikaan vasta nyt.
These owl things happened already in April and May but only now I’ve made these into comics.

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?”
