WILDLIFE NEWS OF THE DAY - 071609

In wildlife news today, our first article underscores the importance of wildlife corridors in California; followed by another cautionary tale about taking in stray wildlife, this time from Kansas. Queensland, Australia's, wildlife carers are showcased in the next article. A Michigan community has decided not to allow a deer hunt within the city limits; but an Ohio motorcyclist suffered serious injuries after hitting a deer in the road. The next doping scandal may not have to do with athletes, but with whitetail deer in Texas! Officials are getting ready to distribute rabies-vaccine bait on Long Island, New York, to reduce the number of rabid raccoons in the area; while police in an Ohio community had a trio of masked bandit calls to deal with this past week. After an autopsy, wildlife officials have determined that a bear that fell from a tree in Rochester, New York, a few days ago was not killed by the fall as was originally thought. Bears and cougars in western Wisconsin are discussed next. Police in Arcata, California, received two alerts from residents about cougars in the area; and the reasons behind cougar hunting in Utah are explored. A Fremont, California, woman had a close encounter of the coyote kind while walking her dog; but after many articles on co-existing with coyotes, this next article from Michigan discusses the reasons for hunting them. And finally, sounding like the start of a bad joke, the title for the next item could be: 'How many doctors does it take to care for a baby hawk?'
