Hi I can't post on channel 9 yet. I guess I haven't notified my SysOp yet. so
I'll just put this here for now.
Birds:
The headlines read: ÒThe Eagle has landedÓ. Thirteen Bald Eagles have arrived
at Coeur dÕAlene Lake to feed on dying Kokanee Salmon. Kokanee Salmon die
after spawning. The Eagles arrive every year in December and stay through
January before continuing south to Utah to feed on jackrabbits. In the next
few weeks 30-40 more eagles are expected. There is a saying here that you know 
that winter has arrived when the Eagles arrive. Coeur dÕAlene Lake is in
Idaho, just 30 miles from Spokane. The Lake empties into the Spokane River
which flows to the Columbia and on to the Pacific. 
 
Weather:
First week in December was clear and cold (.20Õs F days and 0-10 F. nights)
Second week we have had snow showers every other day (2 inches at a time) with 
warming during days. 
 
About format for GEW:
I like the informal observations in each of the categories of your earlier
posts, i.e. weather, birds, animals, plants, minibeasts. I think that
increasing observational powers of students is enough of a goal. This could be 
postings like Global Village News. It has been quite successful. Sometimes
there conversations but most often short items which out students read and
discuss briefly. Have you established a closed or open channel.?
