Just as the flakes started to fly this morning I took a ride past the Pit Blind. You'd think after all these years I'd know to be out hunting with this kinda weather. But no, I wasn't there.

Even though the snow goose season runs till April 19th the snows will make a big push North in the next couple of days and then the Migration will be gone until next year. If we plan ahead maybe next year would work.
Lauren said 150k snows are at MC today, watching the new camera is a wonderful new tool for hunters and bird watchers alike. For anyone that's interested, tomorrow morning at daylight will be a great time to watch the camera. It's absolutely awesome.

We were there Monday afternoon. A ton of snows were in the field between Willow PT at Kville Rd. They were right along the trail. As we walked back, they all lifted off, like they do. Kathy got a good video of it. Incredible sight, being they were right over us.

Remember whey you were all het up over the new girl down there, because she took yinz out to eye ball the new blinds? She has just been given an award for excellence, from Penn Future.
Apparently she's gotten married, as well, since her last name is no longer Fenstermacher. So she's on a roll.
Every time I get the chance, I sing her praises to PGC officials and urge them to hire more people like her.

March 13, 2019 For Information Contact: Bob D’Angelo 717-787-4250 ext. 3311 rdangelo@pa.gov GAME COMMISSION EMPLOYEE CAPTURES CONSERVATION AWARD Wildlife Conservation Education Specialist Lauren Ferreri recognized for conservation achievements.
Lauren Ferreri, of Newmanstown, captured the “Woman of Environmental Education” award sponsored by PennFuture, a Pennsylvania organization that promotes clean air, pure water and a healthy climate in the Commonwealth. The award honors Ferreri’s dedication to educating her community about sustainability and environmental policy. Ferreri is the manager of the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area in Lancaster and Lebanon counties. Her duties include overseeing the Visitor’s Center and museum. She is also responsible for managing the controlled waterfowl hunts and the collection of biological data at the area. Ferreri graduated with a degree in Conservation and Wildlife Management from Delaware Valley College in 2010. She started with the Game Commission as a Bio-Aide with the deer research/trapping team. The following year she became the leader of that team, and then became a biologist in the Northcentral Region. In 2016, Lauren accepted her current position at Middle Creek. Ferreri has had a big impact at Middle Creek in her short tenure, said Bruce Metz, director of the Game Commission’s Southeast Region. One of her early goals was to provide educational signage on the trails and the popular wildlife driving tour. She designed signs focused on wildlife and the habitat they need, then helped develop audio for the wildlife driving tour visitors can access by radio. Ferreri also was instrumental in re-energizing the National Hunting and Fishing Day event at Middle Creek, which now includes more than 30 conservation agencies or outdoor-related groups. More than 2,000 people attended the events in 2017 and 2018. And she recently oversaw the installation of a camera to livestream the snow goose and tundra swan migration that makes Middle Creek a popular tourist destination. “Lauren is always taking advantage of training opportunities and recently graduated from the year-long Governor’s Emerging Leaders Program. She is well respected in the agency and deserving of this award,” Metz said. Ferreri said she is honored to receive the award. “I am extremely humbled and grateful to win this award. Not only does the award recognize women in conservation, but hopefully sheds light on the importance of the Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area to the public,” she said. “Women in the conservation field are reaching positions where they have an ability to impact many people, not just in the state of Pennsylvania, but nationwide and worldwide. I am honored to be part of that movement.” Lauren will accept her award at the PennFuture’s 5th Annual Celebrating Women in Conservation Awards program in late April in New Cumberland. The 2019 Awards are designed to encourage continuing excellence in conservation and to forge a stronger network of exceptional women working to protect the Commonwealth’s environment.

Fenstermacher is a REAL name, she shouldn't have changed it. Lol
Pretty sure Charlie is in love with her. At least they now allow him on Middle Creek. 😂
