Hello friends! Although as of yet I have not raised any funds towards my
campaign to meet Sudan, I am not giving up! He is still alive, so that
means there is still time... Time is not on his side though, as he is
considered to be old age for a rhino, so if I am going to meet him
before he leaves this world, it will have to be soon! Any extra money
left at the end of my trip will be Jeremy Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03489834230877430060noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30891845.post-6554704178598870462016-03-23T15:32:00.003-04:002016-03-23T15:32:41.082-04:00GOP senators push to block climate fund moneyFrom The Hill:

The interaction with birds change my life when I was 12 years old. The adventure of going to the field and identify new birds species and their habitats was and still is a thrill.
