In wildlife news today, Kenya and Tanzania have decided to spread the wealth with their endangered black rhino herds; followed by a summary of wildlife counts for the state of Nevada. A blogger from Syracuse, New York, discusses the sighting of some raptors near their bird feeder; and a lake in Missouri has been cordoned off by wildlife officials after bald eagles took up residence along the shore. Two webcams monitoring bald eagle nests in British Columbia, Canada, are drawing quite a crowd; and a similar project in Maine also has cameras at nesting sites of other species. Some furry visitors stopped by the Southern California community of Duarte. A Congressional press release sums up the opinion on Capitol Hill about the US Department of Interior's decision on polar bears; but not everyone is happy with the decision, one Canadian Inuit group to be specific. Residents of some Ohio counties have reported over two dozen black bear sightings; but after three maulings last summer, the annual spring influx of bears into Anchorage, Alaska, is rousing the ire of residents. A wayward raccoon is accused of causing an explosion that knocked out power in a New York county; and an adventurous 11-year-old in pursuit of a raccoon required some assistance from local firefighters. A resident of North Platte, Nebraska, got an unwelcome surprise when they opened a refrigerator door in their garage! Public opinion in Toronto, Ontario, is shifting against coyotes as Canadian authorities are sucked into a no-win situation. With livestock and pet attacks on the rise, residents of Vacaville, California, ponder how to better control coyotes; while the plight of Greenwood, Colorado, and their invasive coyote problem is examined in an LA Times article. Some notes on wolf packs in Idaho are next up. The owner of a Florida wildlife shelter reflects on the strange journey that got him there; and the mystery of a prowler in the woods of North Carolina is explored. The annual possum cull in New Zealand underscores the problem of the invasive species in that island nation. An Iowa motorist who swerved to avoid hitting a deer ended up trapped in her car; and a motorcyclist in California collided with a deer as well. Poachers and their dogs are causing grief for wildlife officials in Scotland. And finally, Kansas City International Airport may want to consider getting a doorman after a recent four-legged visitor barged in!
