WILDLIFE NEWS OF THE DAY - 030709

We lead off wildlife news today with an update on the persistent coyote who loves Toronto, Canada (a sentiment which doesn't seem to be reciprocated); followed by one from North Carolina where farmers are reporting increasing losses due to coyote attacks. Colorado Department of Wildlife reported that sharpshooters decimated a pack of coyotes after numerous attacks; followed by more details about a coyote's two-state odyssey, this time from Science Daily. Citing their comeback from the brink of extinction, government officials removed gray wolves from the Endangered Species list. Having concluded the post-mortem on a bald eagle that died in Florida, authorities will send the remains to Colorado so that the feathers can be made available to Native American tribes. South Dakota's cougar hunt data is summarized in the next item. Two sets of reflections on feathered and furry neighbors - the first from California, the second from Canada. And finally, having already raised over $300,000 for the Australian Country Fire Authority, Sam the koala and the firefighter who gave her a drink, are taking their act on the road to the US and Germany!
