Soon colts will be fledging, flying with their parents as the end of the 60-70 days of growing and learning to fly appoaches. Colts hatched earliest in the nesting season will be the first to fledge in July, with more fledging through the month until mid-August.

Let Kachemak Crane Watch know when and where you see your colts fledging. Fledged colts should be able to fly off with the adults. Please include the specific location and other helpful information, as well as your contact information.

Kachemak Crane Watch also keeps track of colts that disappeared or died. Successful fledging and mortality reports help Kachemak Crane Watch calculate nesting success for the year and compare it to previous years. Send your reports to:

reports@cranewatch.org or call 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 author of the newly released The Alaska Glacier Dictionary, and Homer local, Naomi Klouda will share a slideshow presentation called “Every Glacier is Different.” The presentation will include discussion about the importance of Alaska's glacier details, both in history and in future ramifications. Klouda will give specific mention of the glaciers of Kachemak Bay.

Klouda’s The Alaska Glacier Dictionary, contains about 700 named glaciers, a collection of glacier essays and a section of answers for frequently asked questions.

Special guests, Jim Lavrakas – photographer, and Brian Smith -film maker and book designer, who both played roles in shaping Klouda’s book will share their insights and contributions to Klouda’s book.

About the Author:
The Alaska Glacier Dictionary was the outcome of many year's research. Klouda raised in Anchorage and a long-time Alaska journalist is the author of "Anna's Whale," a novella set in village Alaska in this time of climate change. Klounda lives in Homer where some may remember her as an editor/reporter at the Homer Tribune. Prior to that, she worked at newspapers all over Alaska where she frequently came into contact with glacier stories and questions about their status - Are they melting? How did they get their names? What stories are attached to the glaciers? Klouda’s book answers questions she encountered and led to many other questions/answers. It was a fascinating research project!

Thieves' Carnival
by Jean Anouilh
Translated by Lucienne Hill

Directed by Jennifer Norton

“An excellent lark loaded with humorous whims, romance, and masquerades.” Three enterprising thieves and a fortune-hunting father and son finagle an invitation into the home of Lord Edgard, Lady Hurff, and her two nieces. Torn between the job, blossoming romance, and enjoyment of their hosts’ rich lifestyle, the thieves linger overlong and arouse the suspicions of Lord Edgard, and jealousy of the other guests.
