ACTIVE POLLS
ends on 12/9/2012
With Valentine's Day right around the corner, people everywhere are preparing to ignite, rekindle or fan the flames of love. While chocolate, jewelry and roses are popular ways to say "I love you," other species are also feeling amorous and preparing to perform their own courtship rituals. (Today)

It was an offer I couldn't turn down: An invitation to share a house here with three longtime ski companions and an opportunity to conduct some "product evaluation" at three snow- and sun-blessed New Mexico resorts. (Today)
Managing wildlife is a tricky business. It's tough enough for trained biologists to come up with management plans the public supports, but when the non-hunting public gets involved, look out.

The Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) marks its 15th anniversary Feb. 17-20. Coordinated by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and several partners, the GBBC is a great opportunity for anyone to become a weekend "citizen scientist." The GBBC enlists birders of all skill levels in an effort to keep common birds common. (Today)
