Jun 24 Tuesday
The first week of June, tiny Sandhill Crane fuzzballs, or colts, will be hatching. “Fuzzball Season” continues until close to the end of June as the later nesting pairs’ eggs hatch. Please keep your dogs on leash and cats inside during this early and vulnerable time for crane colts and other baby wildlife.
Please contact Kachemak Crane Watch with information about your nesting pair and their newly hatched colts. This important data helps us count the total number of colts in the area. KCW tracks nesting success and needs your observations.
Email reports to Kachemak Crane Watch at reports@cranewatch.org or call 907-235-6262. Include date of hatching, time, location, number of colts, mortalities, and your contact information so we can call for details. For more information contact: Nina Faust at 907-235-6262.

Pickleball is a paddleball sport that combines elements of badminton, table tennis, and tennis. Two or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a ball over a net. The sport shares features of other racquet sports: the dimensions and layout of a badminton court, and a net and rules somewhat similar to tennis, with several modifications. Pickleball was invented in the mid 1960s as a children's backyard game.
The Wynn’s forest are a curious transition zone from boreal to temperate forests, making this an amazing habitat for a wide variety of plants and hybrid species. Meet a new plant that lives here every week!
