Mountain Bluebirds : My wife Karen and I have monitored Mountain Bluebird nest boxes for over the last 12 years. This is a weekly project from May 1 to the end of July each year where we observe their nesting, hatchlings and fledging. In addition, we band the young as well as the adults. We can easily catch the female as she broods her eggs. The males are very catchable but only when they enter the nest box to feed their young, a span over 4-6 days. These birds would normally winter in Texas, Arizona or Nevada. They are one of the first to trek north on their migration and can arrive by the end of February. Two interesting results from banding. One year we banded both the adult male and female in the same nest box. The following year we caught them both once again in the same box and still together. We had a female we banded as an adult and she returned to same next box every year for six years. Enjoy some shots of the Mountain Bluebird along our trail.

The Gray Wolf : Gray wolves are all Canis lupus subspecies except two, domestic dog and dingo. The gray wolf, often known as wolf, is the largest extant wild member of the Canidae family. Though once abundant over much of Eurasia, North Africa and North America, the gray wolf inhabits a reduced portion of its former range due to widespread destruction of its territory, human encroachment, and the resulting human-wolf encounters that sparked broad extirpation. Even so, the gray wolf is regarded as being of least concern for extinction by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, when the entire gray wolf population is considered as a whole. Today, wolves are protected in some areas, hunted for sport in others, or may be subject to population control or extermination as threats to livestock, people, and pets. The photo's here feature "Maya" a 12 year old female from the Northern Lights Wolf Centre near Golden, BC, Canada
