This is happening tomorrow and that is why I am posting tonight!
One of our readers sent this to me and I wanted to forward it to you in case you would like to voice your opinion! Over the years one of the many things that is said to me is: all of the birds need to be banded. Well, now that this practice is under threat it is time to tell them why banding/ringing is important.
I went to the UK as a Commonwealth Scholar in 1990 and received my PhD from the University of Leicester in 1993. After three decades of university teaching, I retired to devote my time to the study of raptor behaviour. I am particularly interested in Ospreys and am working on a long term project on third hatch survival and siblicide in these raptors. My blog is a result of a fascination with my local wildlife and the desire to encourage others to love and care for birds! I live on the Canadian Prairies and prior to the pandemic travelled a lot. I am questioning the use of aviation fuel at the moment as we all strive to help our planet. My early research was in politics and art including British public statues exported to Southeast Asia and Vietnam Resistors that contributed much to Canadian ceramics. Books and articles were published on those subjects over a period of 3 decades. Now I am working on books for children so they can learn about the challenges our raptors face.

Mary Ann: I’m trying to get in touch with Della Modin. An internet search gave me your name. It’s not much to go on, but I’m an old square dance friend of Della’s mother. Her mother recently was recently moved to Mariposa Nursing Home in Osoyoos, and gave me her phone #, but it does not work, so I’m hoping you will put Della in touch with me.

Hi Ronda. Isn’t that interesting. I do not know a Della Modin but I do know people in Osoyoos and I will definitely see if I can find anything out for you. I love a good mystery!
