In our first story of the day, a sign that good deeds do sometimes get rewarded: the Healesville wildlife hospital should get a hefty donation from the Australian government for helping out with wildlife injured in the Australian bushfires. In an affront to privacy advocates, a Maine webcam has caught an eagle in the act of adding to her brood; and bird strikes on aircraft are a familiar problem, but what about damage to aircraft hangers? Some advice from a 'critter catcher' from Kansas is provided in the next article. As with domestic canines, wolves also can suffer from too much inbreeding, as demonstrated in a population on a Michigan island. A trio of stories that relate to hunters and coyotes: a community in Ontario, Canada, has been complaining to officials about coyote attacks on pets and is considering retaining the services of a hunter to eliminate the coyote population; a hunting club in West Virginia reports more coyote incursions in their part of the state than elsewhere; but an article from a hunting website talks about getting along with coyotes in Georgia (I guess they're not the ones for the folks in that Ontario community to call!) After a raccoon shorted power lines in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, power company officials complained to wildlife officials about wildlife that couldn't read the ‘Danger – High Voltage’ signs; while a Connecticut woman probably wished someone would have shocked a raccoon that bit her. Residents of Colorado were reminded by wildlife officials that cougars are out and about this time of year. Two stories about unknown hunters in the area: someone seems to be randomly shooting wildlife in a Tacoma, Washington, park; and a situation that could have turned out very badly actually turned out fairly well, as the Marin Humane Society successfully removed an arrow from a young buck who had ended up in the backyard of a California residence. Our next story shows that there are indeed black bears in and around Atlanta, Georgia; followed by one in which wildlife officials are warning residents of Idaho Falls, Wyoming, that grizzly bears will soon be venturing out of their dens looking for food. In another example of cause-and-effect, gypsy moth infestations are reducing acorn production in Maryland that has, in turn, reduced black bear reproduction; while Residents of a Labrador, Canada, area were alerted to the presence of a polar bear in their region. Discovery of a dead rabid skunk caused animal control officials in a Texas county to remind pet owners to have them vaccinated regularly; and Health Department officials in Arizona are concerned about a rash of rabid wildlife in the area. Typically you hear about dogs attacking deer, but this story about a Chinese Water Deer in the UK is the other way around! And finally, a story from Florida that begs the question: skunk ape - truth or fiction?
