Easy 6 hour drive back home to find 3 new donations to the silent auction, a box of wildlife trekking scarves in assorted colors and a ripped out bathroom with no wall or fixtures. I assume the new shower will get here eventually, so in the mean time I will just share a few highlights from the conference.
- TALKING ABOUT BEAVERS FOR FOUR DAYS.
- Watching the Large Woody Debris presentations and grinning.
- Seeing Michael Pollock in a beaver hat.
- Mary Obrien asking good (but pesky) questions of Dr. Rick Lanman after his talk until he caved.
- Sitting in the sun on the deck looking at the ocean.
- Cormorants nesting in the eucalyptus trees on the ocean.
- Seeing Mike Vukman 6 years post beaver.
- Talking over lunch about beaver and flow devices to the Staff Environmental Scientist of CA Department of Fish and Wildlife.
- A mocking bird singing all day every day at our house.
- Meeting Stephen Swales who is writing the report for Fish and Wildlife on Beavers and salmon for the Coho Recovery Team. He wants to come see our beavers himself.
- Being told by Riley that my presentation was one of the best she ever saw at SRF.
