In the field
To sit in a field in the cool afternoon with your dog, that is the way to let your To-Do list stay on the desk, for a moment, and to get back as close as you can to being a kid in summer exploring back in that field behind your house. With nowhere else to be.

Everglades Roseate Spoonbill nests decrease
This is the third in my series on how Everglades Restoration would change the wildlife and landscape of South Florida’s River of Grass: A 2010 study overlooked by the media shows that the overall number of Roseate Spoonbill nests in the Everglades watershed was more than 60 percent lower than wildlife officials had set as a threshold for the Spoonbill’s recovery at the time. A copy of the report can be found here on the Web page for the South Florida Ecosystem Restoration Task Force (SFERTF).
