Scooper-ing from the Seine
Looks like Europeans love their Super Scoopers. And who can blame them.

DOI resources, how’s the WFS working for you one month in?
Has anything changed for you at all?
If you came over from NPS, FWS, or BIA, do you feel like BLM by another name has hoovered up your resource?
Has anything gotten better for you on a day to day basis? Has anyone been specific about what form these vague new opportunities are going to take beyond lots of new openings on the horizon?

USWFS turns on the lights Sunday in my area. Anyone else’s?
The response areas and org chart for southeastern New Mexico’s DOI resources is scheduled to be drawn into line with a new USWFS order as of this Sunday (May 17, 2026). Is this happening anywhere else? I have asked a couple of friends in DOI in other parts of New Mexico if something similar is happening in their corner of the state this weekend and if it is they are unaware of it.
A week ago I hadn’t heard the first word about any of this. I’m just a crew member so I don’t expect that to let in on the details of things. But the broad strokes of something this important shouldn’t be above anyone’s pay grade.
