When Robyn took over the program from our long term banders, she probably never imagined that she would be dealing with a global pandemic! But her leadership, dedication, expertise, and strong work ethic have enabled her to build an incredible team during really challenging times. But most of all, we are extremely proud that we had the chance to support Robyn's dream after she fell in love with bird banding as a child at the LSLBO. Thank you Robyn for everything you do for our monitoring and research programs!
Next up in our "Meet the Banders" series is Sachiko (Sachi) Schott. ![]()

Assistant Bander for the past two seasons, Sachi's calm and confident nature is just what you need on a crazy busy day at the lab during a pandemic! She has many eclectic interests and we are constantly amazed at the new things that we learn about Sachi each season. She is the perfect example of "still waters run deep". But our favourite things about Sachi might be her beautiful smile and her amazing baking talents! Sachi will be running our Northern Saw-whet Owl Monitoring Program for another few weeks, and then she will be heading home for her next adventure. Thank you Sachi! We have been very lucky to have you at the LSLBO.
One of our regrets during this pandemic is that the public hasn't been able to spend time with the amazing field staff at the station. So as our season begins to wind down, we would like to give you the chance to "Meet the Banders"!![]()
