 Tweet I few weeks ago I bought a Bushnell 8.0 Trophy Camera to help me learn more about San Diego wildlife. It’s a night-vision capable, motion-sensitive outdoor camera that I’m hoping will give me the chance to study SoCal critters in a more personal way. This coming Saturday, May 12, I’m heading to the San...

Hello Dagmar, I first want to tell you how much I enjoy your weather reports. You are so professional . I am also excited about watching & reading your posts in the field. Thank you for sharing your experiences. It truly is a motivator for me. I appreciate you:-) Sincerely, Donald Bonga Jr - May 10, 2012 - 12:03 am
Nice work young lady! Glad we have you in SoCal! Michael - May 10, 2012 - 12:32 am
Hello, How are you? I like your photos. The one thing Im interested in wild life are birds like hawks. Hope you can capture them on your camera, I love watching them fly. Have fun. Marc - May 10, 2012 - 2:04 am
Looks fun, you can see some great wildlife in the local mountains, like Cuyamaca State Park, or Laguna Recreation Area. Looking forward to your results. Marc - May 10, 2012 - 2:22 am
I hope this doesn’t double post. But, I wanted to say this looks like a fun idea. I’ve seen a lot of good wildlife in the mountains and canyons. It always makes an outing better. Looking forward to seeing your results. Fred and Pat Heacock - May 10, 2012 - 7:34 am
So glad to hear about your adventures in San Diego. We miss you in Atlanta, but happy to “share” you with Fred’s sister,Dottie, who lives in Imperial Beach, the southwesterly most beach in the continental US. Nita Torres - May 10, 2012 - 1:20 pm
Thanks for sharing the news on your purchase of the new camera. How exciting – can’t wait to see images that you capture, and thanks for coming to San Diego! Gives me a chance to live vicariously through your camera lens. Take care, Nita Joanne Wiles - May 10, 2012 - 3:50 pm
Dagmar: So glad you’ve finally gotten up to Julian…. You’d said early on that you wanted to get to Julian. Did you happen to get there during the times when was snowing and/or thesnow was on the ground?? Such a LOVELY area to visit….at any time of year. So much fun… So close to the “city”, yet real wilderness country… I’m sure you’ve heard the saying (applies to winter time months), “You can be playing in the snow in Julian in the morning and then drive WEST in the afternoon and in a little over an hour you can be surfing at the beach”… It’s sooo great that our mountains and back country is so close to the city….only a SHORT drive away. I’m also a “transplant” to San Diego… (from northern California), and I LOVE IT HERE!! So GLAD and THRILLED to have you with us here in San Diego!!! You are a real asset to channel 7 News…. And your sweetness and TRUE personality, as well as your genuine WARMTH comes thru on camera!! I hope you’re happy here with us in San Diego. We’re so happy to have you as a part of the San Diego community!! admin - May 10, 2012 - 10:26 pm
Hi Nita, I’m glad to know that you’re looking forward to capturing SD wildlife on camera as much as I am. I’ll be sure to keep you posted! Have a wonderful evening, D admin - May 10, 2012 - 10:28 pm
Hi Joanne, thanks for taking the time to send such a kind and thoughtful email. With viewers like you, it’s really easy to settle into San Diego and begin calling this little slice of paradise my new home Have a wonderful evening, D Allen & Teresa Burkhardt - May 17, 2012 - 1:59 am
I am asking Teresa to get me a Bushnell camera for Christmas. That just sounds like a great way to enjoy wildlife ! Burkhardt !!!!!! Robert - May 17, 2012 - 8:44 pm
Hey saw your post about Del Mar. The beach area can be a real drag. Although beautiful the Police and Lifeguards can put you in a real defensive mood rapidly. We have some beautiful parks in Penasquitos. Its 8 Mins. from the beach in Del Mar. Tons of room and some parks that are leash free. You get more room to breath out here, nice folks and the Police presence isn’t so overwhelmning. If you want some more info contact me at my e-mail and Is’ll be more than happy to fill you in. You can also rent something or buy something larger and more comfortable. I know the dream is to live at the beach but there are some very weird people down there sometimes and moving a few miles inland can make good sense. I live here and work in Pt. Loma. Its a 25 min. commute but most mornings its not so bad. and I enjoy my neighbors. Anyhoo good luck and if you need help glad to offer a hand, Robert. admin - May 17, 2012 - 9:06 pm
Thanks for the info and advice Robert. I’ll look into the area. Del mar simply has too many regulations, some of which go directly against  Tweet While watching FA-18 Hornets buzz the San Diego coast this weekend I was inspired to find pictures of my close encounter with a very unique ‘bird of prey’. While working for CBS in Atlanta, I was honored to join the team at Lockheed Martin for a tour of the secretive Raptors’ Nest in Marietta,...

Still, I have only the Best of Wishes for Your future and its success…not that they needed it, but I’m sure the sun shines brighter than it ever in So. Cal. since You’re there.

Wait just a dog gone minute ! Is Dagmar home sick for Georgia ? Oscar Kirker - April 25, 2012 - 9:46 pm
Sorry everyone, Ms Dagmar is settled in San Diego, and we are fortunate to have such talent. Rumor has it she loves it here!!!  Tweet Here’s a piece I did about the recent solar flares. I am forever amazed by the constructive and destructive forces at play in our universe. View more videos at: http://nbcsandiego.com.

I have felt these solar flares for a lil’ while now. Call me new age or what, but I have seriously felt weird the last 3 weeks! Lots of energy, then tired, lots of energy, I don’t know. Feels like my software is getting an upgrade! Dan 2.0! Allen & Teresa Burkhardt - March 18, 2012 - 7:34 pm
How close to earth ? Jim - March 19, 2012 - 9:41 am
You look great Dagmar, looks like San Diego is agreeing with you. I wish you continued happiness and a great life.We miss you in Atlanta. Melanie - March 21, 2012 - 12:47 pm
Looks like your doing well there but we really miss you in Atlanta! Steve Schaeffer - March 26, 2012 - 11:13 am
Hello Dagmar, Great to see you here. Years ago we had a discussion about the size of the moon on the horizon. I think this best sums up the answer! http://news.discovery.com/space/moon-horizon-optical-illusion.html I hope you are doing great. Steve Schaeffer bigpopa - March 30, 2012 - 3:49 pm

Solar flares are spectacular but the Northern Lights (aurora borealis) they help create are magical. The Inuits believe they are the torches held by spirits to guide the souls of the recently deceased to the promise land where pain and torment cease to exist..wonderful legend.. Here in Australia we have the Southern Lights (aurora australis). Indeginous Australians believed it was their Gods dancing in the skies.. I hope to one day see both of these truly amazing displays of nature’s wonder. Kurtis Strange - April 21, 2012 - 3:17 pm
Funniest thing I heard on the news last nite. They were talking about the 40 LB cat and someone asked “what did it eat” and you can hear Dagmar in the background say “I don’t know, other cats”  A few weeks ago Harry Pallenberg (a producer for Huell Howser’s California Gold) asked me to help host a demo segment for PBS highlighting the diverse wildlife found in and around our bustling southern California cities.

I’ve lived here in SoCal my entire life and never realized our forests were so active at night! Ring-Tailed Cats? I would have imagined that to be a South American native. Robbie - March 2, 2012 - 8:03 pm
It’s interesting how only the bears were curious about the camera. Allen & Teresa Burkhardt - March 2, 2012 - 9:21 pm
That is so cool ! WOW ! If you have time, please do more pictures. The video’s are wonderful ! It feels like you are sitting there when the wild life comes near. Just awesome ! Did the cable guy come see you yet ? I am never camping outside again ! Jorge De La Sierra - March 2, 2012 - 10:26 pm
Most Excellent!! Thank you for the videos. I do lots of trail running, biking and hiking in SoCal. I try not to think I’m being watched…. I hope you find your way to the Eastern Sierra; it’s wonderful out there… Have a good 80 degree week-end!! Oscar Kirker - March 19, 2012 - 11:36 pm
Very interesting. Would’nt mind seeing the wildlife in San Diego County, since we only hear of it when there is a scare. And Huell Howser needs to get back to town as well, now that we have Dagmar Midcap!! Andrew Wilkie - March 26, 2012 - 2:17 pm
Wow amazing! I never even knew a Ring Tailed Cat even existed. I learned something today Cheers, Andrew  Whether it’s a boo-boo on the back of my hand or a blemish on my nose, one of my very favorite skin soothing treatments is fresh Aloe Vera leaf. I buy the whole aloe leaf (organic if possible) and keep them in the fridge….

Will it grow hair on a bald head ? Shawn Lee Butler - December 11, 2011 - 5:42 am
Good morning Dagmar. Aloe Vera is wonderful. Growing-up on the coast of Texas caused a few burns(lot)… Never heard back from you after you left Atlanta…You don’t remember a few back-in- forths we had from BMA till primetime, and an ignorant guy called you something less than flattering(female dog),.. I threw him thru a wall… You said,”Don’t your a big girl,it doesnt hurt”.. BULL!… I Love You like a younger sister… I cannot take people bad- mouthing YOU!…Forever…. Robert Guyse - December 12, 2011 - 8:15 am
When I was a teenager, I worked in a furniture manufacturing plant. One of the machines there was used to automate the process of gluing wood together. The glue sprayer had become clogged and as fate would have it, I just happened to be walking by the machine when the pressure had built up enough to clear the sprayer. Hot glue shot all over my clothes, but it was the molten glue on my hand that really got my attention! Molten glue is a wee bit difficult to get off your hand when it’s covered in it. As a tough-guy teenager, I acted like it was no big deal, but actually, it was very painful. The shift superviser led me to his office where he had this plant. He started pulling the leaves off and squeezing the juice out of the leaves and onto my hand. I couldn’t believe how much better my hand felt! I asked, “what is that plant”? He replied, “it’s an aloe vera plant”. I’ll never forget that. Pain has a way of teaching me the most memorable lessons. Chip Franklin KOGO Radio - December 12, 2011 - 7:36 pm

This is Sandy Eggo baby. Get a small aloe @ home cheapo. Put it in a big pot on your patio. Keep it watered. All the fresh organic aloe you will ever need… admin - December 26, 2011 - 2:54 pm
Hi Chip, Thanks for the kind words and the uplifting email:) It really helps to read positive feedback like that. Enjoy the rest of your holidays and have a wonderful New Year. Bye for now, Dagmar Allen & Teresa Burkhardt - December 28, 2011 - 8:47 pm
RE: Chip Franklin……Come on Dagmar ! Everyone in Atlanta knew you would be a hit in San Diego. That’s why we want you back. You lite up the TV not just the telephone lines. Leo - March 9, 2012 - 9:53 am
