Thank you for the welcome back, Penny. Yes, Mia and Wynn went crazy when they saw us. They are such characters. It's good for them to be around the other dogs (although they are separated from the others, everybody has their own kennel and run with clear chain link style fencing between them). Our dogs were together. Jenny said that they were very good doggies. Now they are totally pooped.

Carole, thanks for the super news about #2. She is such a smart girlie. I scrolled back in the FJ and found these photos of her flying with the sandhills. She is now nicknamed 'Amelia Earhart'.

Wandering wolf becomes media celebrity in OregonA young wolf from Oregon has become a media celebrity while looking for love, tracing a zigzag path that has carried him hundreds of miles nearly to California, while his alpha male sire and a sibling that stayed home near the Idaho border are under a death warrant for killing cattle. ![]() This July 9, 2011, trail camera image provided by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife shows wolves from the Imnaha pack in the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest in northeastern Oregon. A 2-year-old wolf from the pack has become a celebrity since blazing a trail across Oregon in search of a mate and a new territory.(Associated Press) When wolves reach about 2 years old, they typically strike out on their own, looking for a mate and an empty territory they can call their own. And that's what OR-7 has done. Last February, OR-7 was in a snowy canyon in northeastern Oregon, when a state biologist shot him with a tranquilizer dart from a helicopter, then fitted him with a tracking collar and blue ear tags. State biologists have been able to chart his journey from GPS positions transmitted from the collar. They show he has traveled 730 miles on his meandering route, getting as far as 320 miles from home. And each time he crosses a county line, OR-7 makes it into the newspapers and on TV news. He's trekked across mountains, deserts and major highways from his pack's turf. So far there have been no reports of cattle killing along his path. Russ Morgan, the wolf coordinator for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, has been surprised by the way the public has embraced the wandering wolf. Much of Morgan's time is spent on a more difficult task, trying to build acceptance among ranchers. Read a LOT more Here |

Whooper Update: Everybody has landed safely. The birds are enjoying the pond area at the stopover site property. Sorry, this is the best I could do for a screen cap. Joe has the video cam inside his costume somehow.

Joe is saying that this is the first time the chicks have been in water for a long time. They are really excited and happy. The cam is still live but blurry. There is sound. It's pretty special right now. http://www.ustream.tv/migratingcranes
