Dad Teaches Masterbate

Today was my last day in the park I am still a week with friends and then again from Valentine's home. In the meantime, Gerry will report what's new at the wolves and I'll set it here.
This morning it had in itself. We had warm -5 ° C but about 30 cm of snow in Silver Gate. The snow plow was not traveling, as I drove off. I had big problems to get through the deep snow, especially because many times the visibility was zero. From the Nature Trail was suddenly all clear and the sun shone. That was a good opportunity again to look for the Blacktail. But they did not show up. So that day ended without a wolf, but with two coyotes.

I find it difficult as ever to take leave from the park and into the world as loud back there. But I am also very particular, soon to see my dog, who enjoyed their spa vacation with my parents a lot.
Even Carol & Mark, Thomas and Christine, Rich and Linda drove back home. But other friends take the wolf Watcher job. In May, I'm back with a group back in time to hopefully see the puppies at the cave. By then, most prey animals have overcome the winter and have migrated to the valleys. There will be many starving animals that sufficient Food for the breeding of wolf and coyote pups offer.

Today:
two coyotes

Gerry has two wonderful photos of a very special "wild animal" made

That's the current situation of the bison:
The Park Service now has approximately 400 bison captured and housed in the Stephens Creek Facitlity. Some of the released Bisons are back there, because they naturally migrate back to the search for food out of the park.
27 more bison were killed by state officials and Indian fighters in the western and northern boundaries of the park. A bison died to the injuries he has sustained in the procedure of capturing and editing "in the enclosure. Another was shot by the Park Service. Overall, this makes the 130 dead animals.
If the Park Service - as planned - all located in the exhibit will kill bison, then more than 520 animals were dead, which is 15% of the total population. And it is just February. The killing will continue.

In today's edition of the Bozeman Chronicle has an article on the subject.
was then requested by the environmental and animal protection groups for an injunction to prevent the slaughter of animals. Next week a decision to be made.
