Extractions: Carol writes: I just saw a beautiful weasel scurrying along the rocks on the shore of Halfmoon Pond. Hereís what Fish and Game has to say about weasels: Getting ready for winter for some creatures involves more than just finding the right kind of food and shelter. For snowshoe hare and several members of the weasel family, it also means changing their summer brown coat to a winter white one. New Hampshire has two species of weasels that change their coat color the long-tailed weasel and the ermine, or short-tailed weasel. In mid-October, both species begin to lose their reddish-brown coats and usually by mid-November they are all white.
Wildlife Habitat 1 threat to wildlifehabitat loss from human activities. Chipmunks, followedby ermine, took up residence in the rock wall, and soon thereafter, http://www.motherearthnews.com/library/2003_June_July/Wildlife_Habitat
Extractions: Here's how you can enjoy all kinds of birds, butterflies, pollinating native bees and other fun and fascinating critters right in your own back yard. New Yorker Barbara Feldt recently went for a walk in her neighborhood, near Times Square in the heart of the Big Apple. As she returned to her apartment building, this big-city dweller saw something extraordinary. "I looked up, and there was a bird on a block of suet I'd hung from a tree," Feldt says. "It was a downy woodpecker, with the red patch on the back of its head. It was gorgeous." As if the bird's appearance was news unfolding, a crowd gathered to watch with Feldt. "Everyone stopped and looked at that bird. People were saying, 'Oh my God, look at that!"' New Yorkers halting to observe a woodpecker is just a minor example of our innate affinity for wildlife. Pulitzer Prize-winning author and scientist Edward O. Wilson calls such a response to nature "biophilia." He writes about these "connections humans subconsciously seek with the rest of life" in his book

YourYukon: Nisutlin Delta Is An Important Pitstop For Wildlife Canadian wildlife Service biologist Jim Hawkings is one of the people who worked A variety of furbearers live in the delta, including ermine, wolverine, http://www.taiga.net/yourYukon/col049.html
Extractions: The Nisutlin River delta is a busy place at this time of year. For migrating water birds heading south for the winter, the Nisutlin delta is the most important Yukon site south of Old Crow. It's by far the largest river delta in the Yukon south of the Beaufort Sea coast. About ten kilometres north of the village of Teslin, the delta is a network of channels, mudflats, marshes and islands created by the Nisutlin River just before it drains into Teslin Lake. Each fall, thousands of swans, geese and ducks, along with hundreds of shorebirds, settle on the delta to feed and gain weight before heading further south. The water birds attract predators like hawks, eagles, and falcons. More than 150 species of birds have been sighted in the delta. For generations, the Teslin Tlingit people have used and cared for the wetlands of the Nisutlin River delta, so when they negotiated their land claim, protection for the delta was an important consideration. The result was the creation of the Nisutlin River Delta National Wildlife Area, which became a legal entity in 1995. In the summer of 1997 the federal Minister of the Environment approved a management plan for the National Wildlife Area.
Extractions: Miscellany (pdf) by Gary Ades General wildlife sightings are posted on the KFBG Wildlife Sightings Board on a fortnightly basis, with records provided by KFBG staff and visitors. Most records tend to be generated by the KFBG Security team on night shifts, the monthly Night Safari activity and regular surveys by the Fauna Conservation Dept. staff. All records will soon be databased to investigate any possible patterns of habitat use by fauna on our hillside. (1) The following sightings records were posted between August and November, 2003 August 5 August, 5.10pm; Scarlet-backed Flowerpecker ( Dicaeum cruentatum ), near tropical plants house - adult female with 3 juveniles begging for food. 23 August, (Night Safari) 7.30 pm; Japanese Pipistrelle Bats observed hunting insects, and picked up at 46KHz on bat detectors, over the Butterfly Garden; 8:30 pm - still a few fireflies along the stream at the Fern Walk. 27 August, p.m.; Many-banded Krait hatchling found outside the Admin. Office.
Extractions: The Total Yellowstone Wildlife Map This page deals with Yellowstone wildlife. Wildlife are creatures of habit. They usually follow the same trails and go to the same areas at particular times of the day and year. They have favorite feeding grounds and food. They will normally go to the same spring, summer, fall and winter feeding grounds. This is not a guaranteed item, and habits will change due to natural conditions, drought, fire, etc. When you arrive at Yellowstone, check with the rangers on recent bear and wolf sightings or radio locations of the packs. A pair of binoculars and/or a spotting scope are almost a must in viewing wildlife. If you have these then you are set. If you can borrow or rent them from a camera or sporting goods store, your time will be more productive. Most of the sightings are at a good distance, which is the best way to do it, especially the grizzlies. We have only seen the wolves in Lamar Valley. This is in the northeast corner of the park, from the northeast entrance to Roosevelt Lodge. This is the same area we sighted the grizzly bears. The best time for sightings is early in the morning (5:00 - 8:00 am) and 7:00 pm to sunset, but, wildlife may appear at anytime in almost any location. Approximately seven miles from the Roosevelt Lodge intersection into Lamar Valley (going towards the NE entrance - Silver Gate, Montana) there is a turnout that is a good spotting area. You will more than likely see cars, trucks, and RVs all parked along the road with people looking through binoculars and spotting scopes. Stop and check on what they are seeing.
Wildlife Canvas Giclee Prints Of Manuel Sosa Many wonderful wildlife canvas giclee prints by Manuel Sosa, The paintingshown above, ermine, is one of those paintings where more than one buyer was http://www.originalbirdart.com/sosa-prints3.htm
Extractions: The Mill House Gallery is very pleased to bring you the wonderful work of Manuel Sosa, a highly talented artist who is also an environmentalist and conservationist in his country of Spain. Originalbirdart.com began exhibiting Mr. Sosa's original oil paintings in early 2002 and quickly sold most of his available inventory with more than one collector being interested in the same painting. The painting shown above, "Ermine," is one of those paintings where more than one buyer was interested, so we decided to offer Mr. Sosa's gicl e canvas reprints. Mr. Sosa is offering 48 different canvas prints of his acclaimed works, 18 are limited edtions of 250 each. Mr. Sosa's style may be characterized as "loose" and "painterly" as opposed to highly detailed or "tight." For example, the lichens he has painted on the stones in the "Ermine" up close look like "blotches" of oil paint, but when one steps back five or more feet, the effect is clearly discernible as to what Mr. Sosa intended them to be. That, Mr. Sosa says, is how paintings are to be viewed. All of the prints we offer on the following two pages are all done with this in mind. Each print is personally signed by Mr. Sosa, and mailed from his studio and gallery outside Madrid, Spain.

HIRUNDO WILDLIFE REFUGE Hirundo wildlife Refuge is a selfsupporting trust administered by the Trusteesof Hirundo ermine.jpg (4636 bytes) Maps are available when you register. http://hirundo.home.mindspring.com/
Extractions: HIRUNDO WILDLIFE REFUGE Old Town, Maine Site Index Introduction Archaeology Pushaw Stream Necessary House ... How can I help? Hirundo Wildlife Refuge is a self-supporting trust administered by the Trustees of Hirundo Wildlife Refuge. The University of Maine is the beneficiary of the refuge. The refuge was founded as a privately operated refuge by Oliver Larouche in 1976. In 1983, the entire refuge was donated to the University of Maine to be used for educational purposes. Although the University administers the Trust, funding is derived solely from private donations and not from the University or the State of Maine. The name, "Hirundo," is derived from the Latin word, "Hirundinidae", which is the ornithological term for the tree swallow family, a bird prevalent in this area of Maine. From the original 356 acres, the refuge has expanded to 2405 acres devoted to the protection of wildlife. The refuge straddles the line between Alton and West Old Town, about fifteen miles north of Bangor. It is 4.3 miles west of I-95 at exit 52 along State Route 43.

Extractions: National Wildlife Refuge Wildlife Diverse refuge wildlands, ranging from Sitka spruce forest on Afognak Island to rolling tundra on the Aliulik Peninsula, sustain 2,300 Kodiak brown bears, support over 600 breeding pairs of bald eagles, and provide essential migration and breeding habitat for another 250 species of fish birds , and mammals. Mammals Photo: Female brown bear with cub. Dave Menke/USFWS. Only six species of land mammals occur naturally within Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge. These include: Kodiak brown bear Ursus arctus middendorffi ), red fox ( Vulpes vulpes ), river otter ( Lutra canadensis ), ermine ( Mustela erminea ), tundra vole (Microtus oeconomus ), and little brown bat ( Myotis lucifugus ). Kodiak bears have been extensively studied, and much is known of their biology and habitat requirements. In contrast, ecology of other native mammals is minimally documented.

GORP - Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge , Maine Moosehorn National wildlife Refuge was established in 1937 as a refuge and ermine (Mustela erminea) Occurs in fair numbers in most refuge habitats, http://gorp.away.com/gorp/resource/us_nwr/me_moose.htm
Extractions: Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1937 as a refuge and breeding ground for migratory birds and other wildlife. It is the first in a chain of migratory bird refuges that extends from Maine to Florida. The Refuge consists of two units. The Baring Unit covers 16,080 acres and is located off U.S. Route 1 southwest of Calais. The 6,665 acre Edmunds Unit borders the tidal waters of Cobscook Bay near Dennysville. The Refuge is a highly glaciated expanse of rolling hills, large ledge outcrops, streams, lakes, bogs, and marshes. A diverse forest of aspen, maple, birch, spruce, and fir dominates the landscape and scattered stands of majestic white pine are common. The Edmunds Unit boasts several miles of rocky shoreline where 24-foot tidal fluctuations are a daily occurrence. The area is rich with the history of the logging boom days. In the 1800's horses hauled millions of cords of wood to the shores of the St. Croix River where spring floods carried the logs to Calais mills. From Calais these products were shipped to world markets by schooner and steamship. However, as the current century dawned the forest industry began to mechanize and the world market for timber declined. The numerous farms that once were necessary to feed man and beast were abandoned and, almost unnoticed, the forest gradually reclaimed what was hers. A walk through Refuge woodlands will reveal old cellar holes and rock fences.
