Thanks EagleWatchers, I’ll see you next winter!

Thanks again for a great season, and double thanks to those who completed the end of season survey. I loved all your training suggestions and I’m looking forward to planning the sessions next December. I’ll be back to the Forest Service next fall; it’s time for my furlough now. I’ll be back to being a North Cascades Park Ranger this summer. Come see me in Glacier or on Copper Ridge. Mountain Stewards: I’ll be seeing you before long.

Take care everyone!
