Bird Banding

-->

The most important thing that I learned throughout the project is that to someone in the world, anything is important.  The way that the people at the Nature center perceive nature is amazing, and they worship it on the daily, while most of us choose to ignore it and focus on other things.  For example, the day in which I did bird banding, a hummingbird was accidentally killed from the rough netting.  One of the people working with us considered this a real tragedy, and had a very hard time dealing with it.  What most people don’t realize is that this is his true passion, and it means the world to him. Most of us would just pass on by saying “it’s just a bird” or something of the sort, while he worships the small creatures.  This is the most important thing that I took away from the project, that everything means something to someone in the world, and that it’s something to respect.
