Oh yeah. I also keep track of bluebird boxes as part of my monitoring duties for the local forest preserve district and our prairie group (Citizens for Conservation, a smallish local group, they own about 350 acres and helped the county acquire much more). Recently went to Yellowstone and was intrigued by the variety of plants in the highlands. Many are similar to those in the Illinois tallgrass, but a smaller variety. They also have a different variety of bluebird.

I think we could drum up plenty of conversation topics we would both enjoy. Is there a particular pairrie restoration group you are working with? I think I mentioned that back in Dec. at the rangland coalition summit here in Sacto, we had a guest speaker from a group in Montana that were working with ranchers to restore native prairie habitat. It was intruiging stuff!

Once I get my plan ironed out I'll have to tell you about a couple projects I'm working involving the nesting boxes I posted about and the 5th graders who will install them and the grassland management data I've been collecting. It made for some pretty ugly spreadsheets! That is if you find invasive species (noxious) ugly, which I know you do.

Thanks. I put that barn pic in my photo album, nice to have that feature back.
I have the feeling if we ever got together we'd have a few things to talk about: land trusts and restoration (I'm involved with a prairie restoration group here), similar political/environmental viewpoints, the value of reasoned discussions, and of course the Prius.

I've always liked that pic of the Prius and the barn!
