Hucker 1964 Nov 28 How Journal It must be a big joke who ever heard of a project collecting thousands of birds a year with only one taxidermist that is lucky to put out a skin a day. A project that pays hundreds and hundreds of dollars continually to rent cars when it could buy two for less. A project that runs all over the pacific looking for birds when there are at least 100,000 right at its main base for field operations that it pays no attention to. A project that sends a personal back from the field with the excuse that it cost too much to keep him out in the field when in reality it is costing them more to cross send him back. A project that sends an entomologist out to field to do an ornithologist's work. A project that allows a person to shoot a gun from the hip on a ship when it is important to get the birds. A project that expects its personal to put out his best effort 16 hours a day 7 days a week while in the field and then bitches when that personal is late for work when he is back in Washington, DC. I could burst out in hysterical laughter. If this is science I am not so sure I want to become a scientist. @and gets paid for only 8 hours a day and 5 days a week.
