, you're just witnessing science in action. This bird was caught by biologists using "mist-netting," a technique that dates back to ancient Japan. Photographer Todd Forsgren captured this shots at a research station where the birds are caught using mist-netting, and then carefully measured, weighed, and tagged before they're released back into the wild. "Most people gasp when they first see the images: they think it's an environmental tragedy of some sort that I'm documenting, like dolphins or sea turtles getting caught in fishing nets," Forsgren says.
