A pair of Ospreys gave me a great show 9/7/11 at Ridgefield NWR. They seemed to be gathering nesting materials while calling to each other constantly. These are pictures of one of them. Seems a little early for nesting behavior. It was so fun to watch these large beautiful birds.

We saw a small goose family along the banks of the East Branch of the DuPage River in the Churchill Woods Forest Preserve of DuPage County. The family unit consisted only of a mother goose, father goose, and baby goose, which is odd because geese usually have a bunch of babies. This made me wonder if this couple had suffered some tragedy, and all the other baby geese got eaten by hawks or something. The tragedy means that the sole survivor gets all its parents' attention, though. The baby goose seems to be learning well.
Some swallows - like this Barn Swallow - occasionally plunge into the water for a brief instant. I've also observed this behavior from Cliff swallows and Violet-green swallows at this same pond.
I haven't been able to determine what purpose motivates this behavior. It's possible the swallows are bathing. I've noticed that this activity occurs in flurries, but with no discernible rhyme or reason to it. Perhaps the birds are cooling off, or showing off.
When they drink, swallows fly very low to the water, open their gaping mouths, and let the lower beak skim along the water's surface, a patterned behavior quite distinct from what we see pictured here, where the birds seem to bounce off the water's surface. I've also observed (barn) swallows occasionally snatching a water-strider from the pond's surface, but again, the "signature" of that activity is quite distinct from this.
Maybe the swallow just enjoys seeing its own splash, and after thinking about this for awhile, I believe this is simply how swallows bathe.

Nice technique for a full screen shot. The Type is hard to read at times, but I think this works overall. Huge did the design.
I guess a common human behavior is to grow and stand up between/against the Nature...
The only thing is that nature itself will always remain bigger than us no matter how hard we try.

Through behavior therapy, children and their families learn how to reinforce positive child behaviors while eliminating or reducing unwanted or troublesome behaviors. Behavioral therapy for kids and adolescents differs greatly, but it always focuses on how various problematic thoughts or negative feelings are expressed. The basic assumption behind this therapy is that parents and other adults in a child's life set clear expectations for their child's behavior.

...some of the models in the Bipolar Babe Fashion show last month, seen at the finale on stage as all the volunteers were given a warm round of applause.
I like the contrast between the young volunteers in modern dress and the volunteer models enjoying historical gear!
The insert, albeit slightly out of focus, reflects the oddly angled, but stable position held by this solitary bee - on hind legs only. George Orwell would have appreciated the symbolism.

Panda Lab for Students
May 12, 2010

As a panda researcher, my typical workday is spent collecting and managing behavioral data on the pandas, writing, and doing other research-related tasks. But recently, I had the opportunity to spend the day working with another division of the
San Diego Zoo’s Institute for Conservation Research
The Conservation Education Division
One of the primary goals of the Conservation Education Division (or Con Ed, as we call it) is to connect students and teachers to wildlife by connecting them to conservation science. Con Ed has the state-of-the-art Conservation Education Laboratory, which is located inside the San Diego Zoo’s
Beckman Center for Conservation Research
adjacent to the San Diego Zoo’s Wild Animal Park. The lab contains various scientific tools and equipment that allow the students to have a truly hands-on experience learning about conservation science.
The Con Ed staff meets with more than 600 students per month, covering all ages, from kindergarteners all the way up through college students. The students get to tour the Beckman Center, see all of the various laboratories, and meet our scientists as they’re actively engaged in ongoing research projects. They then spend some time in the education lab conducting experiments and learning about science in a fun, informal setting. The Con Ed staff does an amazing job of providing a conservation science experience to diverse student populations in an attempt to improve conservation literacy and creatively showcase our programs and approaches.
So, as part of an in-house professional development opportunity, I am working with the Con Ed staff to create an education module focusing on giant panda research that could be used in the education lab on a regular basis. We are working together, utilizing my knowledge of giant panda research, to create an education curriculum that will, I hope, get the kids excited about what can be accomplished through conservation science.
Through our research, we’ve learned a great deal about giant pandas over the past 12 years; the challenge is to create a module that will encapsulate all of our techniques and information into something that will both teach and inspire the kids. We’re hoping that we can teach the students about using a multidisciplinary approach to conservation science, as we’ve done with our giant panda research program, as a very effective technique for tackling a complicated research problem. We’re still in the beginning stages, but I’m excited about the opportunity to collaborate with the Con Ed staff and share our message of conservation.
Education outreach is such a crucial part of any conservation program. We can conduct research and learn valuable information about endangered animals and their habitats…but if we don’t then share that information with the public, people aren’t motivated to take action that will protect and nurture our natural world. I hope that by educating and motivating the many students that visit our research institute, we’re having a positive impact on shaping the next generation of conservationists.
The Con Ed staff is headed to the San Diego Zoo’s Giant Panda Research Station for a meeting next week. I’ll keep everyone posted on how things progress.

TEAD Fire Department personnel performed exterior suppression operations and fire behavior training Saturday, March 9, in the TEAD South area. Firefighters included mutual aid partners, Rush Valley and Stockton Fire Departments, along with active Soldiers from the 63rd Odnance Company based out of Joint Base Lewis-McChord, who are part of a unit currently training on the Depot.
The team was able to burn a trailer that was slated for demolition after all environmental hazards were removed.
Coordinating training with mutual aid partners is critical for familiarity, professional development and overall readiness for not only the Depot, but for the community
My second rotation project involved running mice through social defeat stress. SDS is a stressor in which an animal is introduced to an aggressor's cage. When presenting the results, I assembled a video demonstrating some of the aggressive and defensive postures used to score the footage.
Then I added Yakety Sax and posted it to the tubes.
