find it repugnant to hunt for any reason other than food, and I would
never suggest hunting as a means of fund
Hello Linda,
I wish that birds were always so easy to see. A typical backyard feeder in
North America regularly attracts only a few species depending on season and
other factors. Backyard birders put up several types of feeders to attract
birds with different feeding strategies and food
Hi Robert-
I've got about 160,000 miles on my 1991 Trooper and it's still going strong.
Although a bit hard to find on the used market, they're still out there.
Truck body, true 4WD, and rugged sheet metal and fabric interior hold up
well for equipment and messy field assistants! Since I work
Hi All,
Just wanted to thank you all for the responses I've
gotten about euclidean distances and SAS. They were
all very helpful and I've have figured out how to do
my analysis.
Thanks,

Not to hijack the link, but, in searching, came upon a
very interesting carbon experiment that I hadnt seen

In my mind, this is just chimerical geoengineering fix that distracts us
from focusing on permanent, structural changes that can ultimately
decarbonize our economic system. Here's some issues associated with iron
fertilization:
1. Phytoplankton will only remove CO2 from air permanently if

I think it is a sad state of affairs when the people who pay for
conservation are the hunters and the fishermen, and the people who do not
pay are the rest. I think that if conservation is ever really going to
happen, people need to learn how to live WITH nature. There are many
species that will

Why don't people who care about conservation (nonhunters) consider tithing
to causes they care about in the way religious people pay a tenth of their
income to their church (or are asked to - not all do)? Is it too much to ask
to contribute back a significant part of everyone's earnings to tax
This is a conservation challenge that really needs discussion. For over 100
years hunters and anglers have carried the load when it comes to wildlife
conservation. This has produced mostly good results -- restoration of elk,
pronghorn, waterfowl, bighorn sheep and many other huntable species.
Wendee may be onto something, and apparently she's not the only one thinking
along this line. There's an article in the July-September Conservation
Magazine about using microlending for women in poor coastal communities to
curtail overfishing: Good Credit Risk by Amanda Vincent. (This magazine
Actually, I would say that an A is much easier to get these days with
grade inflation. When I took comparative anatomy under Lauren Brown the
class dominated our life, staying in the lab until 2 3 am every night
just to get a B. Now I see many students with As in that course that
