Personally, I have seen individuals live timid and unhappy. I could never understand the reason for this. Recently there was a poem I read that showed me that life is more than the obvious. The small things that are intangible are more important than the things that show. “The Sandhill Cranes Of Nebraska”. Gave me insight to someone 's perspective of their life.

These professionals, through their stories and research, have inspired me to continue the…

OBJECTIVES We aim to determine if draw down of an impoundment at Necedah NWR creates habitat that is more desirable to whooping cranes after hatching colts and if said habitat can also provide better shelter for young colts leading to higher probability of fledging. We will also determine what impacts, if any, this drawdown will have on other avian species such as sandhill cranes and secretive marsh birds which may act as an indicator species in relation to wetland ecosystem quality (Conway…

A crane has collapsed, with only minor injuries to workers that could be treated at the company’s nurse’s office. Depending on the level of care, the injuries may make the mishap reportable in that sense, but regardless it should be investigated as a near-miss mishap since employees could have been severely injured or killed. Additionally, there is word that OSHA has been called by an employee complaining that this is an imminent danger situation. Although supervisors, engineers, and I as the…
