Finally.........

The TV spot finally aired tonight on the KULR8 six o'clock evening news. For all the film used the piece was only about two minutes long, if that. It did cover all the important aspects of eagle electrocutions as told by my myself, Chuck Preston and Tim Eicher. I was pleased with the whole thing.

No news is bad news

Well, the program about eagle electrocutions that was supposed to air in many TV stations apparently did with the exception of the KULR8 station in Billings. It was on last Friday and Saturday everywhere else. Penny said it would be on Monday night and Tuesday morning. NOT ! I watched both the 5 and 6 o'clock reports tonight and still nothing. I tried to play a video of the program on my computer at the museum from channel 13 in Casper but the video and sound were horrible. When I tried on my home computer it wouldn't even play the video at all. Guess if I want to see it I'll have to purchase a copy of the program from the TV station. Thanks to those who tried to watch it.

It's Show Time ! ! !

Wow, today was pretty exciting. Penny Preston, a KULR8 TV (Billings, MT) reporter came by this morning to do an interview for possible airing this evening. In the state of Wyoming there have been a lot of raptors electrocuted by power lines. Because of that, Rocky Mountain Power received a 10.2 million dollar fine, part of which was sent to the Murie Audubon Society in Casper for distribution to rehabbers in the state. We all put in a quarterly expense voucher and are then reimbursed for the cost of food, feeder animals and in my case, construction of our new mews.

I couldn't use any of my eagles as they are in rehab but Penny got some archival footage from my old educational eagle, JULIE ANDREWS, to use in the piece. It might air this evening (Friday) on their 5, 6 and 10 o'clock news and again on the 6 o'clock morning program. The other interviewees are Dr. Charles Preston, Curator of the Draper Natural History Museum in Cody and Tim Eicher, U.S. Fish & Wildlife enforcement officer, also based in Cody. Tim is the person who gathered all the information to bring this case to court.

I hope you all can watch the show. Enjoy.
