My New Best Friend: Merlin Sound ID

Jean Suplick, 2018 and 2020-2021 New Class Director –
Have you ever stepped outside on a fine morning, closed your eyes for a few moments, and taken in the soundscape? No doubt you will hear some human-generated sounds like tires on pavement, jets droning by overhead or maybe playing children. But wait. Hold on. Was that a bird you just heard?

Erwin Park – Hawk’s Nest

Shari Navarette, 2018 and Chapter Photographer – In the early spring of 2021, while Covid kept most of us home, I spent a lot of time with my camera at the Heard Museum, at Hagerman NWR, and at Erwin Park.   One morning at Erwin, while the trees were still bare, I spotted a pair of hawks at a nest.  One was sitting on the nest, the other kept it’s mate company just off to the side.   I watched for a while.

Our Tribe’s Fortune 2500 Hours – Beverly Carpenter

Beverly Carpenter, 2013 –
The Blackland Prairie Master Naturalist program seemed the perfect place for me to pursue my personal interest in life-long learning after my career in education. BPTMN was an opportunity to learn more about the environment around me and contribute through volunteering.
