City TV spot - and a Northern Hawk Owl?

Hello, everyone out there in Blogland!

Two quick updates from today:

1.  City TV Winnipeg will be airing an interview (or parts thereof) with yours truly tomorrow morning (Dec. 31st) at 6 am, 7 am, and 8 am, on the hour, as part of there news programming.  The interview looks back at the environmental year that was in Winnipeg, and what we can do to make 2010 greener and cleaner!

2.  During out public snowshoe orienteering program this afternoon, two of our volunteers saw an unusual bird.  We watched the bird for the better part of an hour.  The bird was an owl of some sort - but every time we thought we had an ID, some characteristic ruled the ID out.  Back at my desk, I consulted a field guide, and am 99.9% sure we saw a Northern Hawk Owl.  Pictures will be posted ASAP - if you are a birder, an owl fan, or a FortWhyte Alive fan, please check them out to confirm my ID, dispute my ID, or just for the fun of seeing an owl!

Happy New Year!  I'll be writing again next year!
