Hey,

Well some of you may noticed, but I have been absent from the forum for the past few weeks. I returned to Grand Cayman for 2 weeks to help out at the Blue Iguana Recovery Program (Blue Iguana Recovery Program). It was great to get away from the cold weather and we got quite a bit accomplished. Took like 300 pics with the new camera so I tried my best to post the best ones, but there are still a ton:

First up, the Blues:

We PIT tagged the majority of the 2007 animals:

The other major project that we helped in was building a new security fence surrounding the entire facility, in response to the attacks last May. Here are some pics of them handing the chain link after all the poles/foundation was laid:

Sorry the pics are not so sharp, photobucket really makes them look like crap.

Again thank you to BIRP for allowing me to come down :)

PS: I tried to identify all I could, but if you see a mistake or know some (I suck at Bird/Plant Latin names) feel free to post them.

Enjoy,
Derek
