"Clean"
Coal - Myth or Fact?
Is
a coal-fired power plant (in the Matanuska Valley) the
neighbor you want?
On
June 11th, the MEA board approved the Glenn Hwy south
location as the site of the coal fired power plant that
they seem intent on building. Glenn Hwy north site was
second, Pittman was third. See the Frontiersman article:

bird sighting
notes:
June
6, 2007: Web cam may be facing west (no mountains, "garden
cam") or east (mountains obscured by trees which
have finally leafed out).
May
9, 2007: new leaves are becoming visible. The birdfeeding
season is definitely over and the web cam is once again
facing east, but the mountains may not be visible once
the trees leaf out. -ke
As
of April 11th, we are probably finished feeding the birds
since they seem to be moving on, although I did see a
few red polls picking through some seeds this afternoon.
What happened to the snow? Last weekend a wind like a
hair dryer pushed temperatures into the high 40s and simply
flushed the snow that has been around since 2006! The
grass is happily greener!!! -ke (4/11/07)
1/28/07: Red polls and chickadees showed up mid-afternoon.
1/30/07: Red polls, chickadees, and nuthatch, mid-afternoon.
2/3/07: Red polls, chickadees, Hairy Woodpecker
