Hey FMLers As I sit in waterlogged South Dakota (that means lots of mud) I'd like to update you on black-footed ferret news and happenings: 1. The latest installment of my BFF blog is up on Ferrets Magazine. Yes, that's right, I'm back and I'm blogging. If you go read my blog and leave some comments I JUST MIGHT keep on blogging (and on time too!). I'd love to hear some feedback and questions or feel free to leave future blog ideas in your comments! Go to: <http://www.smallanimalchannel.com/critter-blog/ferret-field-blog/livieri-default.aspx> 2. Check your local PBS listings for Nature: The Loneliest Animals premiering on Sunday, April 19th at 8pm. It features several endangered species, including black-footed ferrets and my good friend Paul Marinari (you might remember from Forum at the Fort). See a preview at: <http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/episodes/the-loneliest-animals/introduction/4898/> 3. Breeding season for black-footed ferrets is in full swing (Peanut is very popular with the ladies these days) at the National Black-Footed Ferret Conservation Center. BFF counts from Arizona are in and plans for the Canadian BFF release are progressing! As usual, Ferrets Magazine is right on top of all the latest BFF news: <http://www.smallanimalchannel.com/critter-news/2009/04/10/ferrets-newswire.aspx> 4.
