Since 1996, families, classrooms, and youth groups all over the world have been helping researchers at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology study one of the most common and perhaps misunderstood birds: the pigeon.

Madeira:Rocking and Rolling into the Millenium 9
When I think of Madeira, I think of verdant green and beautiful flowers, a gardener's heaven. Come with me to the beautiful, garden island. Shop in a modern, city that is 500 years old. Take a walk in a flower laden, forest or an orchid garden. Enjoy the panoramic views of mountains and sea. Lounge on a warm sandy beach. Take a ride down the mountain in a wicker sled. Sample the famous Madeira wines in a wine lodge. Visit a facinating wickerwork museum or attend a local fiesta sampling delicious local cuisine and moving to the local music. Go deep sea fishing for Marlin or Tuna. There are many things to do in this beautiful place.

A Slice of Another Time and Place--Allred Lake
Recently I took a trip to the Bootheel of Missouri. The flatlands. An area that holds no visual charms for me. But these flatlands are also home to a very special Natural Area. A swamp. A place of great beauty and mystery where one feels like one has entered a world belonging to another time and place.
