I work for a county park district in the natural resources division doing field research. My main project is an inventory and assessment of small streams that looks at habitat, basic water chemistry, fish, salamanders, and aquatic inverts.

I also get to do other neat stuff like electroshocking fish for biological indices, installing/maintaining/calibrating hydrology and water quality monitoring equipment, statistical analysis, etc.

In my spare time I milk my cow, clean up a lot of manure, hang out with my chickens, and volunteer at a wildlife rehab center that specializes in birds of prey.
