I have shown a variety of both livestock and general projects in my ten years as a 4-H member. My first livestock project was Mallard ducks and since then my waterfowl project has expanded. I showed my Mallard ducks for five years. Unfortunately a mink killed my entire flock. After I lost my flock, I was given a set of Giant African Dewlaps from a family friend which I named Linus and Lola. A few years later the same family friend offered to give me his pair of Giant Toulouse Dewlap geese. He was having difficulty finding someone to take care of them when he traveled and felt they could have a better home with me. I have shown these geese at the Illinois State Fair and have won Best Heavyweight Goose and Gander and Reserve Best Heavyweight

Also mute swans can uproot up to 20 pounds of aquatic vegetation every day ruining underwater habitat also as they swim in shallow water they stir up mud into the water making the area uninhabitable for fish. Many people like the mute swan but others do not, the mute swan is protected by law so no one can hunt them and the population will continue to grow unless we do something.

The dnr is always willing to take eggs from the mute swans nest to control the increasing population. Although no one can hunt them people are trying to pass hunting laws on the invasive mute swan.

Whooping cranes nearly died out in the mid 20th century, with a count finding only 16 living birds. But since then, these endangered animals have taken a step back from the brink of extinction. Breeding programs have boosted their numbers, and breeding efforts have raised the number of wild birds to over 200, with roughly the same number living in captivity. These white birds are the tallest in North America. They live in family groups and stay in marshes, shallow lakes, and lagoons. Cranes feed by foraging with their bills and gobbling up plants, shellfish, insects, fish, and frogs.

The Great Blue Heron is one of six species of Herons. Great Blue Herons live in fresh and saltwater marshes, isolated swamps or on islands and near lakes and ponds that have neighboring forests. During the summer they stay in parts of southern Canada and the Midwestern United States. During the winter they reside in Mexico. They migrate in groups of 3-100 in August to the southern coast of the U.S., Mexico, and Central America, sometimes traveling as far as Panama.

The western snowy plover (Charadrius alexandrinus nivosus) has a pacific coast population that breeds primarily on coastal beaches from southern Washington to southern Baja California, Mexico. The major coastal habitats include sand spits, dune-backed beaches, beaches at creek and river mouths, and salt pans at lagoons and estuaries. Other nesting locations include bluff-backed beaches, dredged material disposal sites, salt pond levees, dry salt ponds, and river bars (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 2001). Plovers often return to the same breeding sites yearly. Nesting locations occur in flat, open areas that have sparse vegetation with sandy or saline substrates. Western snowy plovers have been listed as threatened on the federal endangered species list since 1993, and are listed as a species of special concern by the state of California (California Department of Parks and Recreation, 2015).

In the American Revolution the redcoats fought against the American rebels. The British Army was relatively small in statue by European standards.

Their regiments were their homes, and they were asserted by harsh discipline. Most of the red coats came from the upper class purchased.

The reading states that the behavior of the meerkat, which stands and guard other meerkats, without food is considered a sentinel behavior.

Within a few hours we became brutally aware of reality: the forced labor, the experimental operations on young girls, the transport noirs, individual and mass executions, the ill being, “put out of their misery,”, the dogs, the beatings, and the gas chambers (Tillion p.5). Ravensbruck was torture and misery for every living soul in the camp, no matter which nationality or religion. The labor concentration camp was a living nightmare for the females that were kept there to be used as slaves or guinea pigs.

The swan represents the good in all of the horribleness happening in the world. It shows that even with war raging and Anoosh being sent to be executed, a small piece of bread can bring joy into people’s lives.

In the Orient, particularly South and East Asian, the red-crowed cranes, or technically Grus Japonensis, are viewed as a symbol of long life, fidelity, and luck. It is also a common practice to have their pictures or statues in the house and sacred places as a charisma. However, in spite of their popularity in terms of images, their population is the opposite. It is a must to take action to protect them, not just because they are beautiful and rare species, but also because they contribute to the diversity and the ecosystem.
