Another New School

That makes 142 schools (so far) and yesterday over at the old Jefferson School, 67 students aged 5-10 enrolled in TEACH. And a unique audience as half of them are refugees from all over and I referred to my handy globe in the office: Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Jordan, Afghanistan, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, Tanzania, and Myanmar. WOW! First was a program with Sib, Simon, Billie and Taiga the Rough-leg, then a sketching session for the older kids. I told them I used to live in Cameroon, West Africa and one little clap for that...what a day!

4th Grade Rules!

Here is a panorama shot by my favorite teacher, Kevin Cashman and our umpteenth program for Chief Charlo 4th grade. Then they come visit the Raptor Ranch, big day here and sometimes a quick walk to the river to spy on the eagle nest, then Metcalf Wildlife Refuge. Now that's a field trip.

See 'Em?

My first Peregrine outing of the season with Jay Sumner and first heard, then spotted the two falcons at Chamberlain Creek up the Blackfoot, distant photos. Always a treat! Then another at Bonner, two cliffs in between empty, just for now (we hope) 

April Showers...

On the Penguin and Pheasant sculptures and new Falconhouse. Last evening, dumping'!

They're Back

Wood Ducks, too. They love our little pond in the front of the house and we love them. The true native birds at the feeder alongside side the Ring-necked Pheasants, California Quail, and Eurasian Collared Doves.
