Diversity

One of the amazing things at Crex is its diversity. You may think of the diversity of birds, wildlife, and butterflies but think about the diversity of the people who visit Crex. I have experienced the complete spectrum of visitors over the last few days. Yesterday there was a land acquisition meeting that the Friends of Crex is initiating. The Friends is starting with zero dollars and plans to buy land (at $1500-2000 per acre) and later sell it to the Wisconsin DNR, talk about an ambitious project! There was an excitement about the prospect of undertaking a project that will have effects that will last forever.

The opposite end of the spectrum victimized me on Saturday night. I have a trail cam set up in the middle of Fish Lake WMA at a wolf sent post and trail intersection. Two wolves have been using this trail intermittently through the winter it looked like a perfect opportunity to get my first wolf video. It was not to be, a rogue snowmobiler removed my memory card to avoid being caught illegally riding through the area. The good news is he left the camera and tripod. Perhaps the loss is not as bad as feared since the batteries were dead when I replaced the trail cam at another location.

Speaking of diversity, what do you think of the talent and range of subjects shown at last month's photo club meeting? The March meeting will be this Saturday at 10 AM. Email 3-4 images to crexphotog@gmail.com before Friday if you would like to share your Crex images. Just show up if you would like to talk about Crex and photography.
