The Kansas Wetlands Education Center has not had any reports of whooping cranes at Cheyenne Bottoms since Monday.  They believe the migration through the Cheyenne Bottoms to the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge has ended.  While the whoopers may be gone, the goose and duck numbers are still very impressive with around 200,000 geese and about 50,000 ducks using the Bottoms.  One of the best times to watching is in the evening as geese return to the Bottoms to roost after feeding in the fields.  So, come, bring your camera and enjoy the show!

The Second Annual FHSU Regional Science & Engineering Fair is scheduled for February 27, 2010.  Last year’s Fair was a tremendous success with the State Champs in both Division I (9th – 12th grade) and Division II (4th – 8th grade) originating from the FHSU Regional Fair.  We’re sure that we’ll be able to send a winner to the International Science & Engineering Fair again in 2010!  The entry deadline is February 1, 2010.  Look for more information in the coming weeks and months on the Science and Mathematics Education Institute website.
