Why am I writing The War On Wildlife? Lauren Boebert's misguided bill, H.R. 845 just advanced through the House of Representatives to permanently strip the gray wolf from Endangered Species Act protections.

Eagles Return
Mama bald eagle has returned to her nest in Eleven Mile Canyon to spruce up for the winter breeding season! It's always exciting to see our breeding pair after a long hot summer!
No Greater Evidence
There is no greater evidence of God's work than the majestic osprey. Yesterday's visit to this year's new crop of osprey in the canyon only added to the anticipation of one His greatest mysteries.
Justice for Hope
Justice is finally coming down for Hope the wolf pup that was tortured and killed in Daniel Wyomng over a year ago.

Witnessing Osprey Chicks Take Flight: A Photographer’s Journey
A sure sign of the advancing season is the arrival of juvenile osprey to the canyon. Each spring our osprey nesting pair returns to mate and raise a new family of chicks. They travel thousands of miles from their winter vacation to meet at the same nest and greet their lifelong partner for the joyous event. As August nears, their young gain stength and skill and finally take flight in a burst of energy, hope and a bit courage too I imagine.
Destroying Wolf Hater Lies
Every time any article about wolves is posted in Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, or Montana, it is instantly flooded with anti wolf comments. The comments are always the same, mostly lies spread by a small number of anti predator ranching, hunting, and trapping fringe interests. I thought it high time for someone to dispell the myths and provide wolf advocates with counter arguments to the lies.
Why Boebert’s Wildlife Bill Could Lead to Gray Wolf Extinction
Lauren Boebert's extreme anti-wolf bill, deceptively named bill, "Pet and Livestock Protection Act" has unfortunately passed a full house vote. The bill actually has little to do with protecting pets and livestock, and is instead a thinly veiled attempt to destroy the wildly successful Endangered Species Act and launch a vicious attack on one of nature's most important apex animals.
The Amigos Return
For many of you who have been following my blog for many years, the Three Amigos are a familiar sight. But after a long cold winter, it always brings my heart joy to see them in the spring, happy, healthy, and still together after almost a decade of following them.
We Have Eaglets
WE HAVE EAGLETS - Mama eagle has remained in the nest long past the projected hatch date, so we assumed there were baby eagles to care for. But was it one, two, three? We didn't know until now, but I have confirmed there are at least two!
Ecological Catastrophe: The War on Wildlife
May finds us on the precipice of an unimaginable ecological catastrophe. Mining, ranching and hunting interests have aligned with the new administration in an all out blitz to strip away all reasonable environmental and species protections. The judiciary in it's zeal to oppose every trivial move Trump makes, is setting itself up to forfeit it's power on issues that actually matter.
