I’ll be hosting a special program coming up Monday Sept. 8th, at 9:30 AM. Don’t miss Dr. Stanley Temple, Beers-Bascom Professor Emeritus in Conservation at UW MadisonandSenior Fellow at the Aldo Leopold Foundation.
He will be my guest to talk about Aldo Leopold and his Shack Journals which are now transcribed online, and also the myriad phenology observations Leopold made during his life, which have been continued by Dr Temple. Each year a new Phenology Calendar is published by the Aldo Leopold Foundation.

In this reading of Eye of the Albatross by Carl Safina,
Amelia, the Laysan albatross, is dangerously hungry and thin, having given all the food she can find to her robust thriving chick, she knows she can find many squid in much colder temperatures of the subarctic zone, well over a thousand miles from her chick on Tern Island in the tropics. The long trip is necessary , so her hunger can be alleviated and her own survival is assured. “She strikes north. Directly north. Absolutely north. Straight as an arrow: north.”
