Sightings...

   This weekend the patrol has some major things going on. At first, we were just gonna get together to work on my Backpack Campaign. But then we decided that would be a good place to start the show. Then we got all excited about setting up The Outpost as a sort of "home base" for our filming operations. Besides that, we found out if we have one person on a wildlife watch at all times, we get our best sightings.

   Last week they were doing some tree-trimming around the edge of the park that we're next to. So, while three of us were inside the Outpost trying to come up with more ideas for protecting our birds in winter, C. got some really cool shots of a porcupine family toddling past our tree, trying to get away from all that noise. It was way cool. We didn't even know we had any out here, so it was a major sighting for us. Footage like that comes in real handy when you're trying to put a wildlife show together. I mean, we at least gotta have some wildlife, right?

   Actually, we're getting a pretty good collection, already. So far, we have turtles, ants, raccoons, squirrels, birds, and porcupines. All we have to do, now, is try to get me in the same picture, talking about them. I guess. Heck, that's how everybody else does it. Then, again... maybe we should do something a little different than that...

   Any ideas? Hey -- where did everybody go? Gotta run. My patrol's onto something. Have a great weekend, and don't forget to add your suggestions to the WKC Winter Birdfeeding Contest.

   See you next week!
