In a Southern California community, coyotes are becoming more aggressive towards homeowners; but the city fathers of Toronto have decided to trap and euthanize a coyote that attacked a dog a few weeks ago. A retrospective on the origins of the Eastern Coyote is provided by an article from Massachusetts; while Florida's burgeoning coyote population is again in the news. Fresh fish is on the menu, as a CalTrans camera shows bald eagles feeding their young; but due to federal rules prohibiting construction work within 1/4 mile of an eagle's nest, highway workers in Montana have been forced to wait till summer for a nesting bald eagle to depart before continuing their work. Fewer antlered deer were taken this season in Iowa, perhaps reflecting a trend reported in Wildlife NOTD some weeks ago in which bucks with lesser antlers are not being shot, thus increasing the numbers of those deer. Oshkosh, Wisconsin, is in hot water with wildlife officials for overfeeding deer as a private firm tried baiting them into a kill zone. Cougar prints have been seen outside of a Saskatchewan town, causing wildlife officials to urge citizens to be cautious outside; while another report comes to us out of an Ohio county, where a cougar is on the prowl. A free, downloadable game and other information are being offered by an Oregon zoo to help educate people on wolves; but Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks officials handed down a death sentence for a trio of wolves believed to have killed a calf. A New Jersey couple had a surprising encounter with a kamikaze vulture. Two stories from Australia: a detailed study on the fate of three populations of Australian marsupials after the Victoria bushfires; followed by another story that comes to us from Queensland, where a possum thought to be extinct does actually appear to still be with us. Wichita Falls, Texas, is reporting a number of cases of rabies among the wildlife; as is a community in New Mexico. With their population declining below 2,500 due to habitat fragmentation in the Himalayas, a rare red panda is on display at a zoo in Houston, Texas. And finally, a sleepy raccoon decided to take up residence in a bird's nest, much to the chagrin of the crow who built it!
