Monday

I have been getting a number of questions on the cam replcement status.  Here's the scoop:

We are on a procurement freeze until 21 October.  After that, we can proceed with high priority purchase requests.  We'll do out best to get the cam and the tree service in there.  NCTC is also facing, along with the rest of the federal government a potential 8.5% across the board budget cut due to the pending sequestration.  That has an impact on our budget priorities.

We'll keep our fingers crossed...  New thread.

In the meantime, here's a cool story for you.

Sorry for the delay, been in training class this week.  Dr. Jim Siegel has noticed a few times that one of the eaglets has been hopping up onto a limb out of the nest. 

He is heading over soon to confirm that that is the case this time.

New thread.   We all got a kick out of the behavior yesterday where the eaglets were being covered with grass by the adult.  We think it was to keep them warm in the wind and possibly shield them from a predator (although it's very doubtful a predator would get through the adults).

New week thread.

Wanted to do a quick plug for a program that NCTC hosts each year at NCTC called SC3.  This is a weeklong event that brings talented high school kids from across the nation to Shepherdstown.  This year there is a great speaker list, including the great writer, Barry Lopez, and a host of scientists, filmmakers, photographers and sustainable building experts.  Students take the skills they learn back to their schools and communities.

 If you know a high school student who might be interested, or a teacher that may have interested students, please take a look at the SC3 website: http://www.greenschoolsalliance.org/students/student-climate-conservation-congress-sc3
