Helen Hayes\/Great Island \u201cCBS This Morning\u201d Feature Aired Yesterday<\/h3>\n

It was wonderfully done. Older daughter Jennifer and I laughed a lot. Helen’s understated humor cracked us up. When Michelle Miller asked “How did you learn to get along with them?” Helen answered,
\n“Oh, I got a hat. That made all the difference.” (Tern researchers wear a variety of headgear designed to keep the birds from opening up their scalps while defending their eggs, young, and territories.) <\/p>\n

I was happy to see six BAA tern images on TV in the CBS “Taking Flight\/Researcher helps migratory birds make a comeback” feature. It was yet another great tribute to the amazing ornithologist, Helen Hays. Those of you who did not get to see or tape it can enjoy “Woman revives Great Gull Island’s tern population” here<\/a>or on You Tube here<\/a>. Thanks to Jay for leaving a comment with the link to the story on the CBS website and to Andrew Grandys for the You Tube link. <\/p>\n

The Streak Continues: 278<\/h3>\n

This blog was published just before 7:15am from my home in Indian Lake Estates, FL after another good night’s sleep. I did have stem cell\/PRP\/Prolozine injections in my right shoulder (the 2nd set) and the first ones for my left knee. The procedures were a lot more painful than they were the first time around. A very lot…. This post, which took me about 3 hours to prepare, makes 278 in a row. <\/p>\n
