First up in wildlife news today, a California wildlife columnist provides some advice on dealing with raccoons, hummingbirds, and others; but a French adventurer's pet bald eagle got cold feet about joining his owner in a flight across the English Channel. The executive director of the Raptor Center at the University of Minnesota is protesting the shooting of two nesting hawks, which left the Center responsible for raising their chick; followed by some information on Colorado's Swainson hawk. Wisconsin game officials, still struggling with the unpopular 'Earn-A-Buck' deer-hunting program are seeking wisdom on substitutes; but deer on the highway caused a five-car pileup in Vermont. A New York community is having a heated debate about controlling the deer population in their area; while Boston police had a merry chase yesterday as they tried to capture a deer in the city. A letter protesting the planned deer hunt in Shawnee Mission Park, Kansas, drew some interesting replies. A motorcycle accident in Kansas was being blamed on a coyote in the road; and another coyote was captured on video in a North Carolina neighborhood. A Canadian swears he will never take his dog on nature walks in British Columbia again after a cougar nearly made off with the pooch; followed by some background material on the cougar population in British Columbia. A Virginia resident insists his dog was injured by a cougar, even though officials assured him there are none in that state; while a Canadian farmer contends that a cougar is savaging his herd, not a coyote, as Ontario officials maintain. Rabid raccoons continue to appear in Greenbrier County, West Virginia. Police in a North Carolina community are searching for a black bear who ran right in front of one of their patrol cars; and a black bear in New Jersey stopped by for a rabbit snack, much to the chagrin of the owner of the rabbit. With tourists staying away due to the news of an ursine visitor to the local campground, business owners in Forest Falls, California, are learning what a 'bear market' really means! Police in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, have a mystery on their hands: who shot a black bear rummaging through garbage in an alley? And finally, a black bear in Aspen, Colorado, was ready for his close-up, but there was no one at the TV studio, so he raided the fridge instead!
