WILDLIFE NEWS OF THE DAY - 052109

As bear mating season gets underway in Pennsylvania, wildlife folks provide some tips to homeowners, in our first wildlife story today; followed by one in which Arkansas wildlife officials alerted residents of Lonoke County about a 2-year-old black bear that was roaming around a neighborhood there. Bear sightings recurred in the Seattle area; and a Georgia driver struck a bear in the road. Deer home invasions continue, as an Omaha, Nebraska, family had a bloody mess to clean up after a deer crashed into their home. Some tips for motorists are provided by the Pennsylvania Game Commission in the next article; but an Ohio woman couldn't avoid hitting a deer in the road, causing it to crash through her SUV's windshield and sending her to the hospital. Discussion of the deer population in Wisconsin by state agencies is continuing; followed by a detailed study of whitetail deer in Louisiana. A debate between wildlife advocates and ranchers over cougar attacks on livestock continues in South Dakota; while an aggressive cougar tackled a pregnant pit bull in British Columbia, Canada. A young bald eagle has been radio tagged, one of 65 eagles being tracked in Virginia; but a pair of red shouldered hawks have an Akron, Ohio, neighborhood under siege as they defend their nest. A rabid raccoon brought the total of rabies cases in one New Jersey county to five. A hunter from Illinois reflects on the impact of coyotes on the whitetail deer population; and Wisconsin farmers and ranchers are concerned about the 17% increase in the local wolf population and the threat to livestock.
