G1) Wooden Map Puzzles
Just launched on Kickstarter....by a homeschool mom and her son....hands on educational teaching tools. The first product is wooden map puzzles. To check it out go here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1190965526/puzzle-fun?ref=recommended.
It's interesting to explore the Kickstarter web site too. Learn about "crowd funding" to finance your business start-up idea. It's an exciting new way to start a business!
G2) Funky Nest Contest and Video
Birds nest in all kinds of strange and unexpected spots—and our Funky Nests in Funky Places challenge celebrates them all. Whether you spot a robin's nest on a statue or a hummingbird's nest on wind chimes, send us a picture, story, video, or poem and you could win binoculars, cameras, an iPad, and more. The contest is open to people of all ages and experience levels, worldwide. Find out more and enter by June 15.

G3) Updates on Hellsgate Ospreys
Meanwhile in Montana: Rival Ospreys. There's been something of a triangle at the Hellgate Osprey cam lately. Last year's female, Iris, paired with a new mate and laid two eggs before Stanley, last year's mate, returned. Stanley chased off the rival, scrapped the nest, and the reunited pair started over. What will happen next?
