Catherine and Jimmy Irwin are doing very well however, in late September Catherine’s transmitter began emitting a strange signal that was very hard to track (see video).  I was instructed by the company that manufactured the unit to remove it and send it back to them for repair.  I have since received a new transmitter and attached it to Catherine, the signal is strong and she is doing well.  Jimmy was about 300 feet west of his usual overwintering area and looked well.

Below is a video update of Catherine and her transmitter incident and Jimmy Irwin.

It is our goal at ENP to promote wildlife conservation of our misunderstood wildlife through exciting hands-on education, outreach programs, conservation based field research programs, and online with our nature documentary video series.

We are not paid nor do we collect a salary to operate ENP or to conduct our wildlife conservation activities. ENP is a 100% volunteer operated program designed to educate you about these greatly misunderstood and amazing animals and hopefully, to impart to you, their beauty, uniqueness and intrinsic value to a healthy Earth and healthy humans.

THANK YOU SO MUCH to all of you who have donated to ENP over the years!! Without all of you, our wildlife conservation and education mission would just not be possible – your support makes this important work happen. If you would like to support Earthshine Nature Programs please feel free to donate by visiting http://www.earthshinenature.com/donate
