Leading off wildlife news today, another interesting article about the state of cougar tracking in Southern California; followed by one in which Nevada Department of Wildlife officials provide information on avoiding a deadly encounter with a cougar prowling around Mesquite. A raptor center in New York state released a red-shouldered hawk captured inside a Home Depot into the wild. Residents of Madison, Wisconsin, will be given some tips on dealing with urban coyotes at a meeting in late April; and Alabama residents are being advised on depredation permits for dealing with feral hogs and coyotes in their area. Residents of a Louisiana parish are being advised by wildlife officials on protecting their pets; while coyotes are becoming more of a nuisance in metropolitan Atlanta, an area that didn't even have coyotes until the late 1970's. Arizona wildlife officers provide a detailed view of wildlife rabies cases in that state, typically over 150 cases per year. Bear sightings forced a Colorado ski lift to err on the side of caution and close the runs in that area; but the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is sponsoring a public education event about the Florida black bear. Faced with the annual (and dangerous) chore of going into hibernating bear dens to get some sense of population size, Utah wildlife officials have come up with an innovative way of doing this job more quickly and safely. And finally, New Hampshire residents, used to squirrels raiding their bird feeders, are getting a slightly larger furry animal accosting them right now!
