Our first three wildlife articles today deal with deer issues: the reward offered for information on a deer poaching incident in Oregon has been bumped up; a Woodland, California, motorcyclist was seriously injured when he collided with a deer Saturday; and a buck crashed through the window of a dentist office in a New York state mall. The exploits of a coyote hunter in Alabama, a state which considers it open season on what they classify as a nuisance animal, is next; and, fearing for the safety of their children, residents of an Illinois town say they will act to curb the coyote influx even if the authorities will not. A report from Massachusetts about a cat spirited away by a coyote has pet owners on edge; while the coyote population is continuing to spread into more parts of Pinellas County, Florida. The connection between skunks and rabies in North Carolina is explored in the next item; but while many articles have highlighted the danger of rabies to residents of rural areas, now there are even rabies reports coming out of New York City! Two cougar sightings from California: an agitated cougar was seen outside a home in Penn Valley; and another has been spotted in Redwood City. Arizona Game & Fish officials are perplexed about the significant uptick in bear sightings in parts of that state; while an Alaska man is being charged with misdemeanors for shooting four bears, including cubs. A look at Mississippi's burgeoning black bear population is up next; followed by the reflections of a Canadian on interactions with raccoons in the province of Manitoba. The debate over a service road by Washington D.C.'s Office of Homeland Security that may disturb a bald eagle's nest is revisited by an article from The Washington Post. And finally, a colony of pinnipeds in San Diego, California, received a 'seal of approval' from California's governor, much to the delight of environmentalists.
