We have had the great fortune of hosting Dr. Peter Pap as a Fulbright Fellow. Peter and his partner Eszter Ruprecht and their lovely daughter Zsofi arrived from Romania on a very wintry night in January and have been here in Boulder at the University of Colorado until their departure this coming Sunday 15 July. We've had so much fun learning about Peter's work, continuing our collaboration on barn swallows, meeting his family, and getting to know more about the culture of Romania and Hungary. Last night, we celebrated a great visit with Peter and his family over a meal of traditional Hungarian and Jewish dishes.
In other news, our fieldwork in Colorado is slowing down enough to get back to some writing projects! Most of the Colorado birds have fledged the nestlings from their first breeding attempts and are on to their second. Its been brutally hot but today brings some cooler weather and hopefully a bit of rain!
