June Yost, Banding Apprentice

June grew up in Oakland, California and went to the University of California, Santa Cruz. In Santa Cruz she fell in love with Bushtits, Wrentits, and California Thrashers, some of her favorite songbirds to this day! Her hobbies include going surfing, watching tv shows, and taking long naps in the afternoon. She is returning to Duluth for her second season at Hawk Ridge this fall, and is incredibly excited about working with raptors again after spending the summer as a songbird bander back home in California. When she’s not banding raptors, you can find June on the count platform distracting the counters with funny stories and out-of-practice warbler identification skills.
