Forensic Science

L-R: Levin Nason and Skye Standish are wildlife biologists with Jones and Stokes, a company hired by Alameda County to count dead birds at the Altamont Pass wind farms. The two spend their days walking the hills around the turbines looking for bird remains. When they find a carcass, they examine it to try and determine the cause of death.
