Aren't you going into the forest/wilderness to collect the eDNA and wouldn't that be considered field work?

I don't have to tell you I was a bit surprised myself. I've told him early on that I would never bother him with anything but the most critical of subjects. It started with the WA nest discoveries, which he knew nothing about. A year later I send him an overnight audio from a wilderness location that had over one hundred tree knocks from 1am until sunrise. A year later,, just this last Fall, I sent him some DNA results to assess. Again I reiterated that I would never contact him unless I had something that I felt was scientifically important. He said not to worry at all about that because he always enjoys our conversations. It's a very good open door that I worked hard opening and so will not abuse it.
