Below are the URLs to the Soil, Plant and Pest Center discussed by Dr. Alan Windham during our Plant Pathology class Monday night.  Dr. Windham and others do a fantastic job of posting timely, relevant information on what they’re seeing in gardens and on lawns here in Tennessee on the FB page.  And they post excellent photos (that they take) of everything they see!  If you have a Facebook account, do yourself (and your neighbors) a favor and Like the Soil, Plant & Pest Center page.  I’m not kidding when I say their Facebook page is reason enough to join FB.

During Polly Rooker’s wildlife presentation for the intern class last evening, one of our classmates (I’m sorry I don’t remember your name) mentioned a PBS documentary on the crow.  The program is “A Murder of Crows” and may be viewed online at PBS.org.  The URL is: http://video.pbs.org/video/1621910826

Watch A Murder of Crows on PBS. See more from Nature.
