The new FAR Wildlife Message Board blog is ready. It is not hard to get into, but you must fill out the typical form with a name and e-mail. Use the small "edit" or "new" button at the top for adding a new post. When editing your page, look at the right side for "publish" or "update". That is mostly it. We want only photos "media" to upload and your comments. I am searching for the Arlington participant who saw Mr. Tom in full regalia from the John Sharp walk last Saturday which we want to post. Now the entire harem was seen with him once again and quite a pleaser.

Please continue to post as the more who show interest, the more we will receive help in protecting the area. We are hopeful that the water quality will improve. But this will take Belmont as well as Cambridge, and to date, the water coming from upstream looks terrible. Need I say more. Come on Belmont Water Dept. do more. A few households have illicit connections. Just knock on their doors. Please. Just a friendly request. FAR has no clout here, but there are environmental organizations which do. Some note authoritatively that the dead animals were directly in line at the Cambridge wetland/oxbow from upstream waters. We have ruled out natural predation. Be on the watch for us!
