WILDLIFE NEWS OF THE DAY - 072509

Danish scientists have found that a hawk's wing provides the best example of how they should form the blades of wind turbines; while a trio of bald eagles was released back into the wild at a ceremony in Virginia today. A cougar was seen for a second time near California's capital on Friday; but Wyoming wildlife officers shot a cougar they felt was getting too comfortable around humans. A motorist in Maine had a serious accident after swerving to avoid hitting a deer. The School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences at Auburn University in Alabama is sponsoring a series of seminars on deer management in August. A doe and two fawns had a family outing in a Michigan town; but the hunter has become the hunted, as Oregon authorities search for a poacher. A rabid raccoon was discovered in a Florida neighborhood; and residents of a Pennsylvania community received warnings about rabid wildlife after an infected raccoon was euthanized. Coyotes are thinning the cat population in a Ontario, Canada, settlement; and a West Virginia writer comments on the same phenomenon in that state. A writer from Arizona comments on sensibilities regarding coyotes in the area; but warnings to residents of a Massachusetts community frequented by coyotes have been dispensed by wildlife officials. Some advice on encounters with wild animals is provided by a writer from Colorado. Never underestimate the craftiness of bears, as one in New York's Adirondacks proved by opening a 'bear-proof' food container! A black bear in North Carolina was seen near a senior center, prompting calls to law enforcement officers. And finally, a bear in Atlanta was in a real pickle (jar) for four weeks!
