News from Nature

SpringThe snow is finally gone! Its been a 'normal' winter and a cool spring. Everyone has grown tired of the promise of spring interrupted by the arrival of a new snowfall or cold front. I finally headed up to Crex Meadows and was not disapointed. The swan pairs seem to have weathered their winter away ok, and have returned to their favorite nesting spots. Crane numbers seem to be less this year (residents) but there could be some late arrivals, or they may have been roaming the countryside this day. Lots of eagles of varied ages are in the meadows as are Kestrels, sharp-shinned, coopers and red-tailed hawks.

Winter has arrived in historic northern climate abruptness. Two significant snowfalls have left more than a foot of snow on the ground. It is here to stay. The snows have pushed the last of the migrants south, and has brought in the winter birds. Tree Sparrows have arrived in large numbers once again.

Introduction

Welcome to the Sciences index of the site. My goal here is to provide news, links, general information for those who take an interest in the sciences.

Sometimes people struggle with the ideas of the science and I hope to offer some well put information to encourage the passing on of knowledge. I am no expert in any of the areas that I will cover here, but I hope to answer some questions and be able to point people in the right direction for further information thru links.
