Through Thursday

Well, no real activity Thursday, following the Wednesday sighting and the preparations for Griffy to come through the area. No food at the feeding station with the camera positioned on it, though some food was gone from the one closer to the street.

If all of the Griffy sightings and what we know of his travels from the scent trails followed by tracking dogs (LJT Pet Tracking and Pure Gold Pet Trackers) were all compressed into a shorter time period, we could say that Griffy's pattern is to do loops that are like petals in a daisy. He does seem to loop, some larger and some smaller, but he doesn't do the same loop over and over.  However, don't forget how much time is passing between sightings. We DON'T know Griffy's pattern, and CAN'T determine it unless we start getting more sightings that show us where he is more of the time -- like every day, preferably! All that the sightings we have gotten are telling us is that he survived the snow storms and any other threats to his safety, and he's traveling. They aren't telling us where to go to jump ahead of him and put a trap in his path.

A lot of good outreach has already taken place in all of the areas Griffy has been sighted, but of course no amount is really ever enough. Anyone that can participate this weekend in any type of outreach for Griffy, please send an email or leave a comment (which does send an email). Here's what we're looking for people to do:
 -- post fliers
 -- pass out biz cards
 -- produce supplies of above mentioned fliers & biz cards for pickup by a volunteer
 -- participate in intersection alerts along 236
 -- if you can $pon$or a postcard mailing, we can do a cheaper homegrown version of what's described HERE
 -- anything else you can think of!

As always, we need as many people involved as we can get, and as much as possible, we want to pair people up to work together whenever volunteers are available. Thanks in advance for your help bringing Griffy home!
