Okay, I really exicted becuase today at the Festival of Student Achivements I was chosen to receive the Barbara Wynne Award for Outstanding Biology Student. Its really awsome and a great honor. Only one person per year in the last three years has won this award, and this yearI and my freind Tiffany both won it. Along with getting my name ingraved on plague, a nice certificate, and a awsome card I also got a couple books. One is on animals of the world, it covers alot but misses out on birds. The second book, I'm most excited about, is on wolves. I'm thinking it may inspire me to get out my drawing pad and try drawing some wolf images.
If that wasn't enough, last night I looked up names for the snakes, I've been tracking with Dr. Walker. I suggested some names to her and she's already adopted them all for the snakes. So the boy snake transmiting at 515 is now Blaze, the girl snake transmitting at 105 is now Maya, and the girl transmitting at 482 is now Brook. Its kinda cool to know I got to name 3 timber rattlesnakes. Above is a picture of Maya and what we hope is her snake den in the background, it would be awsome if she did give birth considering these snakes are endanged in Kansas. Just don't tell the land owers near the park. Personally, I think I would be cool to have radio taged snakes in my backyard, as long as I had a reciver, but most people don't think that way.
