Again, working 60 hr weeks and taking any spare time into Yellowstone, these updates are not going to be as faithful as some of you may be accustomed ... I still expect this to be the case through the end of March. We did go skiing, this time along the base of Baronette Peak (or Baronett, if you prefer the original spelling). That was special; however, driving through the herds of ... wildlife photographers ... in the Lamar Valley is an experience I can do without. Too many of them camped in the road; one guy with his tripod in the middle of the lane as he angled for the perfect shot of a bighorn sheep ram not 20 yds from him. I can go on and on about why this behavior upsets me. There's also a remarkable lack of snow in much of the Park's north. 2/5/10 No protections for pika: Federal agency says tiny mountain-dwelling animal has enough habitat to survive (AP story in Casper Star-Tribune) 2/5/10 Despite snow, snowpack still below average (by Lorna Thackeray Billings Gazette) 2/4/10 Cleanup at Yellowstone headwaters hailed (by Brett French Billings Gazette) 2/4/10 Bison outsmart hunters: Montana Livestock Dept. prepares its revenge (by Island Park News)--definitely a pro-Buffalo Field Campaign article (though written as a news and not an opinion piece); that's good ... they are hardly ever quoted on some of the recent buffalo issues by the local press 2/3/10 Bison going to Turner ranch (by Daniel Person Bozeman Daily Chronicle)--with friends like some of these professional conservationist groups, who needs the livestock industry as an enemy? Bad but thoroughly unsurprising news 2/3/10 Turner secures bison deal: Wyo official, tribes, conservation groups oppose privatization plan (AP story in Casper Star-Tribune) 2/3/10 Forest Service says New World Mine cleanup nearly done (AP story in Billings Gazette) 2/3/10 Conservationists, sportsmen agree with plan: Bridger-Teton wants no drilling on 44,000 acres (by Cory Hatch Jackson Hole News and Guide) 2/3/10 Antelope free to roam: Conservation easement protects key area along animal's migration corridor (by Jeff Gearino Casper Star-Tribune) 2/3/10 Yellowstone rumbles with swarm of earthquakes (by Jed Boal KSL--UT)--with video 2/3/10 Dr. Robert Clayton explains the Yellowstone earthquake swarms (by KIFI--ID)--with video 2/3/10 More small quakes recorded in Yellowstone (by Billings Gazette) 2/3/10 Gallatin avalanche center says risk considerable (AP story in Great Falls Tribune) 2/2/10 Quakes continue to rumble Yellowstone (by CJ Baker Powell Tribune--WY) 2/2/10 Yellowstone bison to be loaned to Ted Turner (by Nick Valencia CNN) 2/2/10 Deal helps pronghorn (by Angus M.

I haven't; remember one year working in the park, one was happening where the person next to me felt it as did most people in the store, but I didn't even notice (so don't ask me!) 1/28/10 Plates a likely cause of Yellowstone quakes (by Island Park News)--now over 1,500 of them 1/28/10 Earthquakes keep shaking things up in Yellowstone (by Jeffrey Wolf and Chris Vanderveen KUSA--CO) 1/28/10 Two quakes felt near Yellowstone (by Ben Cannon Planet Jackson Hole) 1/28/10 G&F sends 17 more elk to slaughter (by Cat Urbigkit Casper Star-Tribune) 1/27/10 Tapeworm in wolves causes stir, but biologists say there's little to fear (by Daniel Person Bozeman Daily Chronicle) 1/27/10 Tracks in snow lead to insights into wildlife: Group learns that Hoback Rim is important for predators, prety (by Cory Hatch Jackson Hole News and Guide) 1/27/10 Elk capture and test continues (by Cat Urbigkit Casper Star-Tribune) 1/27/10 1PFT opens new grant cycle (by Planet Jackson Hole) 1/26/10 Quakes barely register: Unlike last year, latest swarm produces little speculation of eruption (AP story in Casper Star-Tribune)--obviously hasn't read the blogs I read; joking aside, he's right that chatter is nowhere near last year's fever pitch 1/26/10 G&F sends four elk to slaughter: Fifth and final season of brucellosis testing under way (by Cat Urbigkit Casper Star-Tribune) 1/26/10 Shoshone Forest sees financing improve (by Billings Gazette) 1/26/10 Rehberg could support phased-in wilderness plan (by Nick Gevock Montana Standard in Bozeman Daily Chronicle) 1/26/10 Rehberg says forest bill needs to change before he'll support it (by Daniel Person Bozeman Daily Chronicle) |
