I saw your piece in Bird Watcher's Digest, called Sitting Down with Nighthawks, and absolutely loved it. If you wrote a short piece for the anthology it would help so much. You could send in a short non-fiction piece about you and the birds (or another wonderful animal experience of yours), or you could write an opinion piece. It could be basically any length- probably between 250 and 3500 words. If you want to know more, you can see our website http://theanimalanthologyproject.yolasite.com/. Our anthology will also include pieces from other skilled authors such as Jon Katz, Irene Pepperberg, and Sy Montgomery. Thanks so much for considering this. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to send me a bit of your writing! Thanks again, Sincerely, Christine Catlin animalanthologies@yahoo.com Dear Karl Meyer

Well i wish to tell you about a fresh underground tactic that produces me personally $900 per day on 100% AUTOPILOT.

So if your seriously interested in making easy money this is the site for you. <a href="http://tiny.cc/p7mq4" rel="nofollow">Auto Traffic Avalanche</a> Sick of getting low amounts of useless visitors to your site?

Caleb talked to me about the conversation that he had with you and felt very awkward about the whole thing. I was out of town ( canoeing in the adirondacks - yeah!) but he felt that he was treated rudely and disrespectfully for doing what Bob Stira asked him to do. He was really prety upset about the phone call. I know how you feel about the salmon restoration program. I share alot of those same feelings. But I feel really good about the work that we at GCC do in providing as accurate data as we can so informed management decisions can be made. Whether or not you agree with those management decisions, surely you agree that they need to be based on good numbers and sound data which we make available. We are under contract with the utility and waiting a week for data to be verified does make sense. Caleb felt that you were being accusatory and "hiding" information which is not the case. I am more than happy to share with you what I know but I am upset about that phone call. Brian Adams Hey Karl – I lost your phone number so I am resoponding this way.

There will be 2 panels, one focusing on the history of the river, including information on salmon fishing by the native american populations, pothole formation, early hydroelectric power production etc. There will also be a current day Deerfield panel with info again on hydroelectric output, wildlife including common and endangered and rare species, the Frog and Flower parade, an image of an angler fishing. I am writing to you ask if you were to choose a few of the endangered species that are native to the Deerfield, amphibians, birds,plants whatever, what would you include? in various categories of rare, endangered, threatened...am including a 'common' species of Great Blue Heron. I can only show a few, and so would be interested to hear what you think should be portrayed. I actually have a BS in wildlife biology, so I am not a know-nothing in this department, but you seem pretty in touch with the whole scene. I met with Polly Bartlett yesterday and got some suggestions in general from her, your name came up too. I hope you might be around - I have a work session planned for the end of the week, so anything you could come up w/ ASAP would be great! thanks a lot, Cindy Fisher 625-8204 Hi Karl, I am involved in a public art project in Shelburne Falls called the SHELBURNE FALLS MOSAIC MURALS PROJECT, and at this point I am working on the design for the Deerfield River mosaics.
