thanks for this!! Very fun! I wish I would have hadit when we trained our voulunteers for the snowshoe program this winter. I need to be checking this more often since you posted this forever ago. :)
Happy Spring,

Hello,
I've been running barefoot for about two months now and I love it. I hadn't run for about 10 years before that and always thought I just shouldn't start ..thinking why go take on what is likely to injure me. But the desire to run would alway…
I found this excellent one-page guide to common animal tracks and signs on this website. I hope it inspires you to look at your local tracks in a new and imaginative light. Enjoy!Thanks to the folks at XKCD!
Intresting article. thank you. I hope to be barefoot a lot more this summer. As a kid I rarely wore shoes and now I am truly a 'tenderfoot' I hope to get my kids to embrace going shoeless. We live in a fairly harsh and rough area in the Southwestern…
Crows rock! CBC broadcast on Thursday Jan 14th. - The Nature of Things
The episode from the 7th looks pretty good too, "To Bee or not to Bee", about the declining honeybee population.
New documentary about the lives of crows. Now I have not had the chance to view this one myself but it comes highly recommended. Besides who doesn't like crows!
Awesome, Brian! I do love when something weaves together under the surface, and there's an 'ah ha' sense--i know what that it is, or something about it anyway! When I wandered our forest before moving I had this sense after awhile that I could see d…
Congratulations Brian on both noticing you had a new quality of experience and then noticing it was a breakthrough. I agree it is a pretty big breakthrough. For me, because if K3's focus on families, I am starting to feel like I will be able to appr…
Brian,
Sounds like my woods... I've got Flickers, Pileated and Hairy woodpeckers. I think there should be Downy too but I haven't seen them yet. I have also seen Red Breasted Sap Suckers. Do you have those around too?
Right now the Nuthatches seem…
I think I may have had a small breakthrough in K3. Up until now the concept of a medicine bundle...I read about it and "understood" what I was told. But recently I experienced what it means to know a creature's medicine bundle.
For a long time I he…
I have a story about a woodchuck with hutzpah that I wouldn't have believed but for the fact that I saw it myself. I was driving north of Baltimore on I-83 in relatively heavy traffic when I crested a long hill and noticed that far ahead some animal…
Hey Brian. Welcome to K3. Where are you in Virginia? I'm in Staunton. I have groundhogs in my back yard area, not at my spot, and they lumber pretty fast to squeeze through the fences of my yard to get away from my dogs. They come in to get to the v…
Where I used to work there were a lot of these friendly little guys. There was a hill where the adults used to play with their kids--they would chase each other around, then the whole family would literally roll down the hill together--and climb bac…
That is awesome Brian! We put the girls in school last year, after homeschooling them for years, and I have a newly inspired appreciation for how important good teachers are and what a difference they make in kids' lives. It does my heart good to hear that you are out there teaching the kids about the earth and how to take good care of her.
The Kamana work will invariably make a big difference in your life and in your teaching as well. Try to sneak off to an Art of Mentoring sometime, or a Coyote Mentoring weekend. There actually was one in Charlottesville last week and probably will happen again next spring. Do you have a copy of Coyote's Guide to Connecting to Nature? It's a great resource as well.
