Women at work

It's not all messing about with birds here on Tern Island you know. There is lots of other work to be done as well. Manly work. Heavy lifting, operating machinery, sawing pieces of wood, that kind of thing. And since there has been a distinct shortage of menfolk on the island these last six months, it has fallen to us women to do all the hard labour (thanks to Caitie Kroeger for providing most of these photos):


Driving the tractor.


Pulling weeds.


Navigation.


Hammering stuff.


Toxic chemical application.


Lifting really big rocks.


Posing with power tools.


Actually using the power tools.


Notice how well this outfit co-ordinates with the power tool- a boy would not have thought to do this.
