Up early to say goodbye to folks before they head out on a much deserved vacation. Work out some details for a possible collaboration. Catch a White-bellied canary outside the lab. It’s really hot and I’m exhausted so I read through the afternoon heat. Enjoy some sundowners at a couple’s house during a doggie playdate. Beautiful house they rent about 25 minute away from station, right on the river. Do a little birding while exercising the dogs.

Read an article in the New York Times that has a good summary on the current issues in Kenya.
