The
Second Year Blue Grosbeak was caught and banded in Zuma Canyon in spring
2012. It is occasionally seen in the canyon, but it is the first
one banded in 15+ years. |

years old. Son is now as tall as Dad.The information below is provided so that you can contact me in other, sometimes more archaic but often more reliable, ways. In a few cases, you may get lucky and actually talk to a real person. TELEPHONE (with voice mail):

"SENSEI" - Japanese for teacher. Students often call me sensei. This avoids the confusion of what title I should have. Students ask if they should call me Dr (no, I have no PhD or MD), Mr (yes, I am male), Professor (academically yes), Walt (a bit informal), Sakai (more informal), or hey you, or "Dude!" (rude)! Then, most foreign born students are very respectful and call all of their instructors using the former, while American born students are more informal (not necessarily disrespectful). Red-tailed Hawk took a Cooper's Hawk on our campus. Frames grabbed from a video taken by Jim Serikawa, staff member in Media Center/Graphics Center.
