little piece of the wild: Black Friday for Wildlife

http://littlepieceofthewild.blogspot.com/2014/12/black-friday-for-wildlife.html

Little piece of the wild. A blog by Matt Clysdale, exploring the little pieces of wilderness in and around the city of Kalamazoo. Monday, December 1, 2014. Black Friday for Wildlife. While hordes of shoppers stormed the shopping malls along Westnedge Avenue in Portage, Michigan this past weekend, I was literally a block away walking along the Portage Bicentennial Trail in search of wildlife. And I might as well have been in a parallel universe given the contrast. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). It se...

little piece of the wild: June 2014

http://littlepieceofthewild.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

Little piece of the wild. A blog by Matt Clysdale, exploring the little pieces of wilderness in and around the city of Kalamazoo. Thursday, June 26, 2014. An alarmist fledgling cries out as one of the parents cruises by the falcon's favorite perch: the big "G" tower. If you love birds, and live in Kalamazoo, chances are you've heard about our downtown falcons four (yes, four! Chicks this year. This was their first successful brood, and they've gone airborne! The Gazette has been following their every move.

WHEN HOPE HATCHES: August 2012

http://whenhopehatches.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

Tuesday, August 7, 2012. FROM EGG TO BANDING - A PHOTO HISTORY. It's been a criminally long time since my last post, and I apologize for the delay. Once again though, it's because I've been posting regularly on our Facebook page for the Osprey. In a more play-by-play manner. That's one of the reasons it's been challenging to step back and assess the big picture. With the nest-cam failing and the young. From egg to banding. Enjoy! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

WHEN HOPE HATCHES: Any Day Now

http://whenhopehatches.blogspot.com/2012/04/any-day-now.html

Wednesday, April 25, 2012. John Brenneman thought we'd give the birds till around April 7th before we would write them off this year, but low and behold they arrived right around April 5th. Good timing. The main reason I haven't posted sooner was because I've been working the situation more play-by-play on our Facebook page. For the Osprey. To check it out click HERE. And please post any sightings or comments. It's a community hub for and about the birds. The dramatic glitch in this scenario is that my n...

WHEN HOPE HATCHES: THE OSPREY HAVE LANDED!!!

http://whenhopehatches.blogspot.com/2012/04/osprey-has-landed.html

Saturday, April 7, 2012. THE OSPREY HAVE LANDED! Sent to my iPhone April 5th at 1:44pm. This photo was the first visual confirmation of an Osprey on the new platform. It even brought along a fish! Two days after the above male arrived and began hanging around the site, I received the photo below. Literally one minute after the photo came in on my iPhone, I received a phone call from John Brenneman of the Nature Center who witnessed the two birds mating on the platform!

WHEN HOPE HATCHES: August 2014

http://whenhopehatches.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html

Wednesday, August 6, 2014. WHEN HOPE HATCHES will not be Hatching. It’s been a long time since I last communicated about my documentary project, When Hope Hatches. And I have both good and bad news regarding the Osprey. The good news is the Osprey are doing extremely well and have nested in the area of the Georgia Pacific lot for the 5th(? Year in a row! The unfortunate news is I will not be proceeding with the documentary. I’ll continue to manage the Facebook page. For the Osprey and post occasionally o...

WHEN HOPE HATCHES: AN EGG!!!

http://whenhopehatches.blogspot.com/2012/05/egg.html

Thursday, May 3, 2012. A magical, mystical, marvelous egg has finally arrived! The first photograph to confirm it's arrival was April 29th, around 6:20pm. I love the above picture because it illustrates the singular focus of the adult Opsrey's entire life: to reproduce. All the migration, nest building (not to mention our efforts to build and relocate the platform). It also illustrates the vulnerability of life, in the form of a delicate egg. In the meantime, it's all about incubation, and patience.
