9th

Perhaps you have already heard - on Wednesday, a Liberian-flagged cargo ship named The Rena struck a reef off of New Zealand's coast. In addition to its load of 2000 containers, it was carrying nearly half a million gallons of heavy fuel. Read our coverage and find related links, HERE.

Just a reminder to get your barn owl nest-boxes built and installed before the end of the year to have the best chance of having owlets next spring. Order plans or let us help you install one on your property - CLICK HERE for details. (we will be available to install starting in November)

This concludes your Wild Byte for October 9th, 2011.
