We watch many nature programs on TV and find them very educational and enjoyable. This Prairie Chicken is an example of how the presence of certain species indicates the condition of the habitat. If they are plentiful in range grasslands it indicates the grass is near a climax condition. During my 32 years with the Soil Conservation Service, I had the opportunity to work with many knowledgeable people under "field" situations. Our son began working for SCS a few years before I retired and continues to work with the Agency even though it went through a name change a few years ago. I can't think of a better career for any young person who has an interest in Nature than working with the Natural Resources Conservation Service in USDA.
We watched March of the Penquins tonight - have the DVD - but it is so heartwarming and beautiful scenery that we watched it on CNN tonight.
