Providing that there is no major news breaking, the segment I recorded with Stephanie Hemphill about the North Mississippi Regional Park should air today between 5am – 9am on Morning Edition. (Mom, they said an online version will be available at some point too).
I’ll probably be roving out at that park in full ranger gear between 10am – 12pm today.
Hope I didn’t miss it – I’m tuning in right now (8am).
My husband had the chance to take a plane flight over Longville and Hackensack, MN – from Women Lake – last summer. I’m not sure exactly where they were in that area but they had the chance to see, what I thought from the pictures, an enormous Heron Rookery. The pictures didn’t turn out the greatest but it was the highlight of his plane ride. We often see a heron resting atop one of our lift covers in the summer time and are always awed by their size and grace. I was happy to catch your story this morning and even more happy to hear that they are on their way home. Thanks!
I did get to hear this story, twice even! Very well done, nice piece. The first time through I didn’t hear the very beginning but thought after a couple of sentences, that must be Sharon. Sure ’nuff.
