Painting Short-tails

The short-tailed albatross decoys on Eastern Island needed painting, so that was one of this morning's projects. It had been a few years since they were painted, so maybe they'll be more noticeable with brighter colors. We also took some bunch grass plants over on the boat and planted them in the short-tail plot to spruce it up a little.
We finally got our mail today. It's been 3 weeks since we got anything, since the Navy plane that came last time, didn't bring any. Thanks for the packages Mom & Dad and Dasha.


Dana is putting the blue on the bill.


Kristen is painting the pink on the bills.


Here's one that's almost done. We didn't get all the black done, but they are a lot more colorful now, and more like the real thing.
