		<title>A visit from the Neighbors</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160;

&#160;
Yesterday, Katherine and I were walking the dogs and saw four of these guys in our of our plum trees. There were too cute to resist, so I snapped of a few. Amazing how they remind me of the kits I shot in Fort Collins a couple of years back. Guess cuteness transcends species&#8230;

		<title>Hooting Mexican Spotted Owls</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160;

&#160;
Last Friday, I was invited out to survey for Mexican spotted owls (Strix occidentalis lucida) with Todd Rawlinson of Rocky Mtn. Research Station. I was a great morning, and I think I got some really nice shots. A couple of weeks back, my nikon telephoto lens died on me (expired warranty, of course) so I [...]]]></description>

		<title>4th of July in New Mexico</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160;

&#160;
Katherine and I met the In-Laws up on the Res Sunday for the final day of the Mescalaro Rodeo. It was a lot of fun and really enjoyable to watch. Surprisingly, we didn&#8217;t get any rain making for some nice, mud free shots. I&#8217;ve also added in a couple of shots from around the house [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dog Canyon Hike</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160;

&#160;
Yesterday, I participated in a wonderful going away event (she moving elsewhere within the agency) for a fellow worker, the Annual Dog Canyon Hike. The weather was perfect, the views were amazing, and the company was excellent. Here are the pictures form the trip&#8230; I certainly hope this event continues and look forward to doing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Going local&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160;
In the past few weeks, I&#8217;ve been asked to participate in numerous local educational opportunities. Now I&#8217;m the last person to advocate trading the computer for a field guide and a backpack (hell, my job lets me take my computer to the woods!), but I have to admit that I&#8217;ve enjoyed these experiences of late.

		<title>Not dead yet! &#8211; Poormans&#8217; Lidar &#8211; Part 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160;

&#160;
Yesterday, my Co-PI&#8217;s and I received a message informing us that our Joint Fire Science Proposal (&#8220;Characterizing Crown Biomass and Crown Density Profiles in Conifer Forests of the Interior Northwest&#8221;) has been selected for funding!
&#160;
Boo-Ya&#8230; that put me at 3 for 7! Believe it or not&#8230; that pretty good.
&#160;
So how does this relate to my previous [...]]]></description>

		<title>Closing chapters&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160;
This morning I received a message from the Editor-in-Chief at Forest Ecology and Management, with a favorable review for the last manuscript from my dissertation. It was submitted as part of special issue on lessons learned from experimental forest and still needs substantial revisions, but it was well received &#8211; and that&#8217;s what matters.
Oddly enough, I&#8217;m a bit [...]]]></description>

		<title>Washington D.C. &#8211; Part 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160;
Yesterday afternoon I finished my allotted tasks and decided and spend some time at Arlington National Cemetary. I took the Metro over, spent three hours walking around and paying my respects (the placement of over 16,000 wreaths by volunteers was especially touching), and then headed back to D.C. proper. Given I was close, I decided to walk [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, the first week is down on my two-week detail back to Washington office here in D.C. I spent the weekend attending a jazz show at Cafe Nema, looking around Springfield and attending a Christmas party out in Vienna on Saturday, and visiting the National Museum of the American Indian. So far, it has been the nicest [...]]]></description>
