Bald Eagle Management: Biologists Anderson and Holman participated in
a two-day session with other WDFW staff involved in bald eagle management. Several
aspects of bald eagle management and bald eagle Plan development are currently
conducted in various ways throughout the State. Several of these inconsistencies
should be relatively easy to address and standardize including the need to develop
standard templates for all eagle plans, the need for all WDFW Staff in both
Wildlife and Habitat Programs to have easy, up-to-date information on eagle
locations and history, the need to standardize the procedure for signing and
storage of eagle plans, and the formatting of eagle related data. At a policy
level, WDFW will need to address more difficult questions relating to bald eagle
site management, population monitoring, etc., following down listing to "Sensitive"
at both the State and Federal level.
Western Pond Turtle: Biologist Anderson is working with Olympia staff to integrate statewide western pond turtle capture data into the agency database. Regional staff also met with Olympia Diversity staff to develop guidelines for next year’s Matrix.

Pacific Northwest Sportsman’s Show: Region 5 staff worked throughout the
5-day Sportsman’s Show event. The show was well attended and WDFW's booth
drew in much attention, especially the enforcement elk decoy. Many thanks to
all the dedicated staff who provided pertinent information in response to the
many questions from all the interested attendees.
