In wildlife news today, police in Santa Paula, California, passed out fliers warning residents of a cougar family in the neighborhood this weekend; but observers at Norfolk Botanical Garden in Virginia are celebrating some eaglet births. Some controversy surrounds a housing project and an eagles' nest in Montana; while in a major success story, a bald eagle that nearly died from West Nile Virus has not only recovered, but has been released back into the wild! As the weather heats up in Colorado and bear sightings become more frequent, wildlife officers are providing tips on 'bear-proofing' your property; but with an increase in numbers of predators in Manitoba, Canada, venturing closer to civilization (one rancher having lost an estimated 145 head of cattle to predators), residents are becoming concerned for the safety of their families and pets. A Wilderness Society report indicated that several of Australia's endangered species may have been severely impacted by the recent bushfires burning through their habitats; and a wildfire in Kenya's Rift Valley has wildlife on the run. Public hearings over deer hunting are slated to begin soon in Minnesota; while a deer on Long Island, New York, was ready for its close-up with 'Today' host Matt Lauer! Here's a deer hunter of another stripe - one who seeks after antlers shed by bucks each year; and some tips are provided in the next article about how to keep deer out of your garden. New Brunswick, Canada, is reporting heavier snows, which means fewer coyotes were hunted this season - bad news for the deer population as spring arrives. Some advice on a useful raccoon repellent is offered. And finally, in a turnabout, a bear trees a man!
