 Good Afternoon Peeps....Happy Friday!!!  Deb, outstanding NAC presentations!!! I love the pix and the graphics always knock my socks off....which is why I'm running around barefooted.   Carole and Bette, Thank You for keeping us updated with the news of the eaglets from coast to coast. It amazes me how quickly they grow, then suddenly, poof, they're off the nest soaring in the skies. Penny, I almost completely missed the Live broadcast of the Sydney nest rescue....when I tuned in, David Hancock was just then coming down from the nest in the crane. Sooooo, I can't wait to click on the links and watch the rescue. Thank You!!! Cheryl, I feel for Mia being upset about having to be in her crate.....and poor Wynn (love that name), he probably liked having the break from rough play. They'll settle in once they get past this stage. Mia is just letting Wynn know that she's top pooch.....and it sounds like when all is said and done, he's going to be fine with that. Today is a work day, and I'm in the middle of putting my post together for tomorrow. I just wanted to take a quick peek, and pop in to see what you guys have been up to. Ok, back to work.....

Lily the Black Bear - Update May 20, 2011 – 8:14 PM CDT Drama in the Northwoods  Lily treed by her mother June In a scenario reminiscent of the separation last year, June tracked down ‘Lily the Interloper’ deep inside June’s territory. June was good enough to give up part of her old territory for Lily, and she can only do so much. Sue saw the confrontation developing as the two bears’ GPS locations were approaching each other. She grabbed her video camera, drove 5 miles and walked 1.6 miles in the woods to Lily. By then June and her cubs had moved nearly a mile toward Lily. Lily’s family was tearing apart birch logs for grubs. Suddenly, Lily began earnestly grunting and ran for a big white pine. Hope and Faith ran too. Faith climbed out of sight but Lily and Hope stood alert at the base staring intently into the distance. Lily wandered in that direction a ways, stood up, glimpsed June’s dark shape, and ran for a big white pine. This time Hope climbed and Lily followed. June came onto the scene ready to rule her territory. She was blustery up the tree toward Lily and family and she pounced toward Sue. June was not happy. She turned to scent-marking the area by rubbing on trees, walking over bushes, and stomp-walking.   biggerJune pounces toward the camera June coming onto the scene of Lily and a cub was reminiscent of last year on May 31 when June appeared, Hope climbed, and Lily left. This time, she stayed, and it was June that eventually left with her cubs after about a half hour of scent-marking. Video of the encounter between Lily and June will be posted later tonight on YouTube. Elsewhere in the forest, Jo and her cub moved a mile, again brushing close to a town but safely staying at least 160 yards in the woods. RC is still with her yearlings Bill, Jim, and Doug, named after the Den Cam Team. Juliet made a big move—3.5 miles, which is far enough for us to wonder if she is still with her 3 yearlings. We doubly wonder that because it was about this date in 2007 when she separated from her first litter—on May 22nd. We’ll be checking their signals this evening to see how far apart Juliet, Shirley, and Sharon are. Rep. Phyllis Kahn was a hero in the House yesterday as she presented her bill to help the radio-collared bears. And Lily fans were the heroes behind her. Phyllis had a stack of your letters. She talked about all of you. She talked about the value of the bears to the school children that have been in the news, thanks in part to the Education Outreach Team and efforts of individual teachers and their work toward making the black bear the Minnesota state mammal. She had all her facts together as can be seen on this video between 2:27:34 and 2:42:00. The vote ends with a cheer as her amendment is passed 69 to 63 over a recommendation by Rep. Tom Hackbarth to vote no. You’ll see good support from Rep. David Dill and Rep. Tom Rukavina. The short story about it is in the St Paul Pioneer Press and a new story is in the Minneapolis Star Tribune . T. R. Michels continued his blitz to gain support from hunters and all and set the record straight about the research. Today, he used the words of a Lily fan that I hope all the legislators will read his blog. We need as many people as possible to visit T.R.’s Facebook page and leave a comment in support of protection. Team Protect continues to work hard for protection. The need now is for Lily fans in Minnesota to write to their state representatives and state senators to urge support for protection. Team Protect sent this Legislator Finder to help you all find your legislators and send them an email or letter or both. We cannot give up. There was a question about whether more letters should be sent to the list of key legislators. Lily fans have already done that (Thank you!). We’re hoping new letter writers, especially hunters, emerge from T.R.’s efforts in that direction on his blogs. Another need is to determine which legislators are on the conference committee and write them. We received an email from Rep. Phyllis Kahn saying, “Yesterday, the omnibus game and fish bill (SF 943) passed off the House floor with my amendment giving moderate protection to radio collared bears. The bill is likely to go to conference committee. Please urge the members of the committee, Governor Dayton, and the Commissioner of the Department of Natural Resources to support this language in the final bill.” Her amendment that was passed yesterday is in danger of being removed in the conference committee if they don’t hear support. That issue is mentioned in the Minneapolis Star Tribune article above. As if that isn’t enough to do, the link to show support for making the black bear Minnesota’s state mammal is here. And there is fierce competition for the top spots to win support for the International Wolf Center at Chase Community Giving. You are coming up with a lot of votes and working hard and keeping the Wolf Center in contention for $100,000, but it’s a scary race with so many organizations competing so hard. We are in 9th place with 2,665 votes and 5 days to go. Voting ends May 25. In this contest, each person gets only one vote and is done. Out the window, gray tree frogs have joined the chorus of frogs and toads by night, and the bittern still is part of the chorus of loons, ravens, and returning warblers by day. Today is Dot’s Day, but we will have to tell her story tomorrow, and what a story this bear has to tell. Thank you for all you are doing. —Lynn Rogers and Sue Mansfield, Biologists, Wildlife Research Institute and North American Bear Center |

well I did go to the city but decided to head to wall street via brooklyn and wasn't sure of the train cause I don't pay attention when we go that way (which for me isn't often) so had to ask ES but that's OK - he was quite surprised that I was on my way I got there about 1/2 hr before he finished work so walked to the Tower site and had a look at the progress - we met for dinner at the W - new place for us. A little pricey but it was very good - I had salmon he had pork chop (HUGE) with green mashed potatoes (jalapeno peppers - really good) mac/cheese and dessert! Mac and cheese a bit weak but everything else was yummy! We then walked past the Tower so ES could see #4 progress and we ran into 2 ladies as we headed to subway - they wanted to know if we lived there we said no but how could we help - well they wanted to get to Times Square - way toooooooo far to walk - they were nervous about the subway (being from Iowa and all) so we took them under our wing I even paid for the ride they were so funny - had been here several days - seeing all the south city sights - statue - staten isle ferry - ellis - etc. they were heading home monday so now wanted to start touring more mid town etc.We dropped them in Times Square - explained how to get back to downtown and their hotel and I just gave them the subway card and told them to enjoy! what fun - then we went to the Ripley's exhibit - too pricey but kind of fun ..... now home and TIRED!!!! |
