Strangers in the Night

There's a fountain on a deck with two little ponds where raccoons occasionally come by to take a dip. Recently, early in the morning (5am), a mama raccoon brought her new horde... 5 babies!! It's baby season!

Glory Hole!

Last week we were happy to see the Lake Berryessa Glory Hole spilling over. The year started out at about 432 feet and peaked on Feb 12 at almost 443'. The Glory Hole is right at 440'. Last year it peaked well below this at just over 427', so it's good to see a good supply going into 2025.

If you want to get a look at the hole while it's spilling over, better hurry - it's at about 9" above the hole and falling. Dress warm - was cold and windy at the dam. To get an update on the levels, see https://lakeberryessanews.com/.

TO ALL OUR FRIENDS!

The Suisun Marsh Natural History Association thanks all of you for the generous donations we have received over the holidays! If you have not yet received a thank you letter or receipt from us, we appreciate your patience, they will be sent out very soon.

We have been impacted by a computer breakdown that took some time to repair, leaving us no way to generate data and documents. Following the repairs, staff came down wth the flu, further slowing our progress. Please know that we are very grateful for your kindness and generosity, and that the many warm wishes we received from you over the holidays meant so much to us! Best wishes to everyone in 2025!

We are deeply saddened to inform you of the passing in September of a dear friend and supporter, and a truly amazing woman, Mildred Hartland-Dill. The more we learned about Mildred, the more her accomplishments impressed us. Mildred was born in Walnut, Illinois, where she spent her childhood. She attended Augustana Nursing School in Chicago as a US Army Cadet and graduated as a Registered Nurse in 1946. Mildred married and had five children in Chicago before moving to San Anselmo in 1960, when she worked as an RN at Marin General Hospital and in 1962 had her sixth child.

Mildred returned to nursing after many years of working in the restaurant business with family, beginning as an RN at Maxicare Hospital in Vallejo, where she was quickly elevated to the “Director of Nursing “position, which she held for several years. Later Mildred moved to another Supervisor RN position as the “Activities Director” at the Crestwood Psychiatric Hospital in Vallejo, where she worked until retirement at the age of 70.

Along with her many other accomplishments, Mildred was blessed with six children, fourteen grandchildren, eighteen great-grandchildren, and three great-great grandchildren – what a legacy!
All we can say is “They don’t make them like her anymore!” Our sympathy and condolences to her family – we know she will be greatly missed.

MEMBERS and FRIENDS

It has come to our attention that the news media is reporting some inaccurate information on the Suisun Marsh Natural History Association regarding actions of the Department of Fish and Wildlife regarding violations in the Suisun Wildlife Center.

The Department has made us aware of these Concerns to Address and we are in the process of taking actions according to their regulations. When we have addressed these violations to the Department’s satisfaction, we are looking forward to our permit being renewed.

An inspection of the Center by the Department took place on July 23 and animals were removed. All animals were healthy and well fed. DFW found no evidence of any animal abuse, and no charges have been brought against the Wildlife Center - and we do not expect any. Our organization understands the violations and are working with DFW to bring us into compliance.

WE MISS YOU – COME SEE US AT THE OPEN HOUSE!

We are delighted to welcome friends and members to visit us and return to full participation in presentations and Wildlife Center events – mark your calendar now for our December 7, 2024 Open House and Art Sale, 11-4! We will feature wildlife art, jewelry, books and more. It’s a great chance to do some Christmas shopping for the wildlife lover in your life! Follow us on Facebook for more shows and programs to come – and come see us!

INFORMATION FOR OUR FRIENDS!

Hello and love to you all – thanks for your support! We have been working on plans to still be able to see and enjoy you all, and to give you some fun things to do.

We are still unable to accept wildlife for care and are continuing to work with the California Dept. of Fish and Wildlife to resolve the situation.

For now, we are planning to be closed to vistors at the Center other than for events as listed below., We will let you know if this changes.

Now for some fun! With summer moving into fall we have scheduled programs and field trips for you to take part in with us – See below!

SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 21, 7-9 PM – Suisun Marsh Presentation – Learn about our local Suisun Marsh ecosystem, one of the largest wetlands in the US, with many fascinating features!

SATURDAY OCTOBER 12, 9-11 AM- Suisun Marsh Walk- Get an up-close look at the Marsh and even taste a few of its native plants!

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 16, 7-9P M – Hummingbird Presentation- Enjoy the glittering beauty of hummingbirds from all over the Western Hemisphere and learn their wonderful adaptations!

SATURDAY DECEMBER 7, 12-4 – Open House/Art Sale- Please join us to celebrate the holiday season, we would love to see you all! And you may find some great Xmas gifts for your list!

And a special note to all our friends, volunteers and members. We’d like to reiterate that the action by the DFW had nothing to do with the health of any animals under our responsibility. In fact, all the mammals and birds that were turned over to the DFW were well fed, healthy and with caging that was cleaned daily or several times a day as needed. Our volunteers have been proud of their contributions, and we are proud of our volunteers.
