This is me with the migratory bird that I was studying in Eilat with Michal. We caught a bunch of these blackcaps (Sylvia atricapilla) as they arrived in Eilat after migrating over the Sahara. Then we measured digestive function in them as they refed in the cages you can sort of see in the background.
