A History Lesson



Scottie Willey visited the Rangers.  Her memories of RMBL go way back and her storytelling skills are top shelf.

 
 The Rangers particularly enjoyed the part of the story that involved the Donkey and trail mix.


 Owen was listening and typing in Bee data for his end of the season presentation.  He gave a power point talk on his Native Bee data, a project he did with Shay's guidance.


Coming Soon!  The first RMBL Ranger book "A Rumble in the Clouds"
First Rmblings.

 Savannah , Owen's big sister is a research scientist working at RMBL and she took the Rangers on a bird walk.

Listen and you can hear what you may not see so easily.

Crossing Ninja


7/20

 Beca, Connor, Nola, Kat, Gracie, Oliver
Len, and our Host David Lopez.  David explained his work on the effects of road dust on SkyRockets. The rangers took copious notes.

David points out several of his research specimens.   


Thank you David, for taking the time to impart some of your knowledge!


Gracie, Nola, Kat, Connor, Beca, Oliver, and Len take a relaxing few  moments by the river to reflect on what we've learned.

Nick Wasser and Denny Ramirez discuss the black flies and their relation to Skyrockets.



Kat did this field study of the trees just outside and across the street from the the town hall.  Another candidate for the cover of this years book.

Wing of a Fly - Nola

Wing of a Fly
By Nola

Usually a menace
But when stilled
And magnifyed
An incredible sight

It's wing
Is like
A puffy mattress
Covered entirely by
Tightly stretched
Plastic wrap 
Infused with silver
And the sheets of this
On each side
Are pinched together
With luxurious blue thread

The Bees - Gracie

buzzing around from a to b and all the way to z people think I will sting you but I will not it is time you realized you depend on me.
