Hi everybody. Michele, what a delight to see the RS Banding Day photos featured in your promo. You explained the hardworking efforts of the IWS team so well. Carole, the colours in your White Rock screen caps made me think of a card.  Maybe you should talk to Hallmark.  I would buy them!Good news about the two osprey chicks at Blackwater. Deb and Gary's geocaching class would be fun to attend. The weather here is still the pits. It's supposed to be better by Monday. |

G'day Peeps, Missed yesterday all together, busy day with morning with BBob and then Race Sailing with Spinnaker in the afternoon. I actually got to control the spinnaker TWICE! I was soooo happy and it was so much fun! A lot of commotion when we tack, the Captain calling out orders it was hard to know what to do but another fella Jim (who races on Wednesday) kindly guided me. I was asked to come again next Saturday, unfortunately Wed crew boat is full, darnit. Wind was good, up to 19knots. Also saw two wedgetails in the thermals above AND a fairy penguin swimming around the boats! Michele, another outstanding job on the NAC, and to all the NAC committee, just terrific, every day. Heading out to the movies "Water for Elephants' ~ read the book it was terrific. Blackwater! Everyone have a Happy Memorial Day weekend. |

Topa, I couldn't agree more. I loved the "DogBless USA".....I would love to have that poster. I'm going to check it out to see if that's something you can purchase.  Carole, beautiful captures of Ma and Pa and the Raven. Thank You Peeps, for your kind remarks throughout the past two months. It's meant a lot to me, as I know it means a lot to all of the members of the NAC. I seriously can't believe that the Challenge is almost over. Where does the time go?!?! Cheryl, I feel your pain....the weather is stinky here too. The month of May has looked and felt more like the month of March!!! It's been cold and rainy here for the past couple of days. I'm still running around in sweatshirts and long pants.....Sheesh, so much for Spring. I know I shouldn't complain though....I think we're still a lot warmer than Penny is in Winnipeg.  Penny, I just loved the pix you posted of Lily, Faith and Hope.....they are just so precious. I can't Thank You enough for posting the updates on them...... Ozzie, your sailing experiences sound exhilarating!!! You are becoming quite the yachtswoman. Have fun at the movies....I read "Water for Elephants" and really liked the book.....then a couple of weeks ago, I saw the movie with a bunch of girlfriends from school. I thought it was pretty good....and I loved the vintage feel of the movie.

Jill, the video was very moving.....I hate that the US finds themselves in this position, but I'm ever grateful for the men and women who are ever ready to defend this country of ours.  Deb, it sounds like the Geocaching class went well....and also productive for you and ES. Good Job!!! I would've loved to participate in your class...... Has anyone heard from Kris lately??? I've been worried about both she and Ed.....

Gorgeous NAC postings today Michele I wonder how those can even be comfortable sitting on a rock  We had tornado warnings here today for so many towns all around us....sky was threatening most of the day and we did have downpours all day yesterday with only a few sprinkles today. North Dakota had tornado warnings too but haven't heard if they actually got them. I just feel so upset for all those people who have lost everything in Missouri and Oklahoma. So sad about the teen who was finally found  I'm giving up on the Lily Update...it is almost 11:30PM here and still no sign of it so I'll post it tomorrow Have a great evening...I'm off to  now.

Lily the Black Bear - Update May 28, 2011 - 11:05 PM CDT 3 Bear Day  June - May 28, 2011 Or a 6-bear day if you count cubs. One benefit of the GPS units on the radio-collars is we can determine when a bear moves to a good location so we can change batteries or swap out the unit. Today was a 3-bear day; June, Jo, and Juliet. All three bears needed new GPS units and all three were in accessible locations. Since moving away from the contested clover patch, June has been unreachable until today. We tried to get to her yesterday but found a logging road had been blocked. We were relieved to see she had moved to a more accessible location today. We headed out as soon as the morning showers ended. We found June foraging on peavine and ant pupae in a clear-cut while her 2 cubs rested high in a white pine. We still have not been able to positively determine the sexes of her cubs, but, when it became obvious they had no intention of coming down, we headed off to find Jo.   Jo searching for her cub - May 28, 2011 Yesterday, Jo and her lone cub were in a remote roadless area on the shore of a lake. A boat would have been the only way to reach her. Luckily she moved 2 miles to a more accessible location late yesterday. Today, we found Jo high on a hill among lush vegetation. She approached us with her cub, but the cub had second thoughts and slipped away. After we swapped out Jo’s GPS unit, she began grunting and headed off in search of her cub. We followed. Jo tracked her cub to a group of large white pines. We spotted the cub high in one of the pines, but Jo seemed confused and was grunting and reaching up a different pine. She sorted things out and finally climbed the right pine to encourage her cub down. As they headed off together, we left to find Juliet.  Juliet - May 28, 2011 Juliet separated from her yearlings May 24-25 and was seen the night of May 25 with a male. It is not unusual for males to court females for a week or more, so we hoped to catch sight of her suitor. Juliet came to us from a thick brushy area at the edge of a wetland. We swapped her GPS unit while keeping an eye and ear out for a male, but saw/heard nothing. Juliet headed back into the thick brush (and likely to her suitor) while we headed back to our car as the sky darkened and rain threatened. A video from today will be posted on YouTube. This evening the Bear Center staff held a farewell party for Dr. Ella Ingram. Dr. Ingram is a professor of Applied Biology & Biomedical Engineering at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, Indiana. She spent her sabbatical year volunteering at the Bear Center. Thank you, Ella, for sharing your energy and talents with us! The petition to make the black bear Minnesota’s state mammal, is here. The place to leave a comment for protection of radio-collared bears on T. R.’s Facebook page is at Protect Minnesota's Research Bears. T. R. will pass your comments to officials. Minnesota residents who would like to get their legislators on board for the next legislative session, almost a year away, can find your local legislators at this Legislator Finder. Thank you for all you do. —Lynn Rogers and Sue Mansfield, Biologists, Wildlife Research Institute and North American Bear Center |
