Super Post Jeanne, Very timely for the season!  Carole, I'm sick with the same symptoms as you.  At least I was fine on my vaca and I think I'll be better by the weekend.  Fancycatnip, your " go to the doctor" post made me laugh.  I voted & shared Wildlife Center Virginia on FB !!  I'll be around lurking today.

Anna - You and I want warmer weather (not hot and humid) and Deb wants snow  I have been voting for the WCV and Norfolk all this past week as Lori posted about it several days ago. They will need tons of votes to catch up .Deb - Thanks for the little eagle, very cute  Topa - Stay well and get rid of your cold soon, that's an order. Hopefully the doctor will give me something to help the coughing. I probably shouldn't have gone to the hairdresser this morning but they say if you look good, you feel good. In my case that's not true but at least the gray hair has disappeared like magic.

Good afternoon, everyone. Sorry to read that Carole and Topa are both sick.  Carole, I would have gone to the hairdresser's anyway, same as you. Feel better soon, both of you.Anna, we are having the same crummy weather here in Ontario. I looked at the plants at my neighbourhood Home Hardware a couple of hours ago ...... the rain started coming down so I just walked away, discouraged. They were just getting in a big truckload of plants and there seems to be lots of stock - maybe everything will go on sale since nobody seems to be buying. Jeanne, way to go on your fantastic sports/Team Cruz theme and eye-catching graphics. The eagle golfing one is . Still trying to clear out stuff and flatten cardboard boxes, etc. now that Ian and Allison's stuff is out of the way in the basement. Got my Photobucket account working again, that had me really freaked out yesterday. I still don't know what was wrong. Sorry I couldn't do something for Maya's birthday, Carole. I hope she's feeling alright. |

Deb, could we possibly have this eagle added to the smilies? I like it so much more than the other one. (Since you are fiddling around a bit anyway .... I've wanted to ask but didn't want to bug you.) Oh, darn, I'm on my new computer. It's the larger one that is on the CHIL forum smilie list. I don't have the code here. |

Whooper Update: Date: May 25, 2011 Reporter: Liz Condie Subject: THE CLASS OF 2011 Location: Main Office To say that to date this has been an unusual and stress-filled beginning to the year is a gross understatement. Anxiety over finding and securing an appropriate alternate flight training site in time for the season's start, coupled with worry about black flies and nest abandonments, was followed by concern over the extraordinarily low egg production by the captive populations at Whooping crane propagation centers. In past years each of the Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership's (WCEP) two reintroduction programs, Direct Autumn Release (DAR) and Ultralight-led, submitted their requests for the number of eggs they would like to have allocated to them. Then, it was a matter of hoping for the best in terms of there being adequate egg production to accommodate their requests. When egg production couldn't meet requested levels, the Canada/US Whooping Crane Recovery Team (WCRT) and WCEP's Project Direction Team (now re-formed into the Guidance Team) were tasked with coming up with some version of a proportional allocation. In 2010 the addition of a third reintroduction program, the establishment of a non-migratory flock in Louisiana, meant there were fewer eggs than ever available for allocation to WCEP programs in that year. In 2011, the now three way competition for eggs was further compounded by the very low levels of egg production. Requests from the three reintroduction programs for 2011 egg/chick allocations totaled 48. With only 26 chicks anticipated to survive out of a projected maximum of 35 hatches, the WCRT faced an uncommonly difficult dilemma. In an attempt to keep all three reintroduction programs viable, the Recovery Team's final egg/chick allocations, made just yesterday, were: Louisiana - 16 eggs for a projected 12 chicks DAR - 8 eggs for a projected 6 chicks Ultralight - 11 eggs for a projected 8 chicks While OM staff in the persons of Brooke Pennypacker and returning Intern Geoff Tarbox have been working with the Crane Chick Crew at Patuxent since the beginning of May, we have not posted any Field Journal entries regarding hatches due to the uncertainty of the number of chicks - and which chicks - would be designated for the ultralight-led migration program. Now, with the final determination having been made, we can at long last update our undoubtedly anxious Craniac audience with information on the Class of 2011.
