Black Wolf, Yellowstone, near Sough Creek, May 2011.
"Like neither saviors nor infidels but simply (or not so simply) like wolves, they returned to their home, bringing great color and breathing a life-force that some, in an upside-down world, view as destructive—as if we have become so estranged that we can no longer really tell one from the other. In this regard, the wolves are instructors, and in this regard, we are watching them with fascination, with our senses as well as our returning knowledge... —re-engaged and keenly alert."
-Rick Bass, from Wolf Palette

Wildcare Spring/Summer 2011 Newsletter, Mountain lion image


My photo of a wild mountain lion is the cover image for Wildcare's Spring/Summer 2011 Newsletter.    


In this issue is an article about coexisting with lions in the bay area. If you are not on Wildcare's mailing list and/or would like to receive a copy of this issue please email jolynntaylor@wildcarebayarea.org


And if you do not know about Wildcare please go to their website and check out the great work they do in educating about the issues that affect wildlife and what can be done to live better with our wild neighbors. Also they are a wildlife hospital in San Rafael where rescued wildlife is treated, rehabilitated and then returned to the wild. And if you have kids, this is a cool place to get your kids excited and turned on to wildlife. http://www.wildcarebayarea.org


The photo was taken during a couple days in the field with the Felidae Conservation Fund in January 2010 during one of their field studies for the Bay Area Puma Project. Please check out the great work they are doing for wild cat conservation at http://www.felidaefund.org
