Wildlife fascinated me long before I started photographing it. I am always intrigued by animal behavior: what motivates them, the bonds between them, how they raise their young and how human behavior impacts their survival.
It’s an exciting time of growth and expansion for Project Coyote with a number of job opportunities we’d like to share. We’re so excited and fortunate to do this work. Will you join us?
The war on wolves rages on, with July 1 marking the official implementation of SB1211, Idaho’s wolf slaughter bill. Despite growing public awareness, the federal government has yet to intervene on behalf of wolves and their ecosystems. Wolves still need your help ~ please take action today!
As many as one-third of Wisconsin’s gray wolves probably died at the hands of humans in the months after the federal government announced it was ending legal protections, according to a study released on Monday. Poaching and a February hunt that far exceeded kill quotas were largely responsible for the drop-off, University of Wisconsin scientists said.
IT IS GOOD to hear the coyotes singing again. For a few weeks last month we were awakened now and then to their yips and wails coming from someplace across the canal where they’d been prepping for this season’s litter of pups. We hadn’t expected to hear from them this year because of the big yellow machines that have lately come and leveled the forest that once grew over there, and scraped the surrounding fields to rows of rubble and naked flats of glaring sand. But still the coyotes are out there, somewhere in the cracks and crawlspaces of the greenspace that used to be. And in those quiet hours before our daily bombardments of heavy machinery, those tenacious little beasts, bless their hearts, are singing.
The Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources Board recently voted 10-1 to advance a regulation prohibiting wildlife killing contests to a public comment period. Many thanks to those of you who have thus far spoken up in support of the proposed regulation.
