http://www.miwildlife.org/rm.asp
Tangible Results, Cost-Effective Methods Since its founding in 1982, the Michigan Wildlife Conservancy has helped restore:
  • Wetlands more than 6,700 acres
  • over 2,400 acres
  • Fish habitat more than 1,000 stream improvement structures installed
Why "helped" restore? Because we don't take full credit for the restorations we've accomplished. We always work in cooperation with others. We work with landowners, volunteers, businesses, government and funding sources to keep costs down. By cooperating with and involving others, we leverage additional funding and volunteer help to accomplish our goals. In the process, we help many people become part of the process of helping wildlife. Return on Investment We strive to maximize the return on investment. We choose projects that result in quick, cost-effective, and lasting improvements for wildlife. The number of bald eagles, pine martens or other wildlife supported is the bottom line for us. The average cost of wetland restoration by the Michigan Wildlife Conservancy is about $250 per acre. The Conservancy spent $1,000 to restore 50 acres of wetland in Allegan County at the low cost of only $20 per acre. Ten miles away, a project we were not involved in spent $26,000 to make only 4.3 acres of marsh. Some developers and government agencies spend up to $100,000 per acre to create wetlands to replace those drained in the course of their work. Funds invested with the Michigan Wildlife Habitat Foundation result in tangible, cost-effective habitat projects with real benefits to wildlife.

Golden Eagles
There are a number of places to see Golden Eagles but none of the suggestions guarantee this: Glenachulish, the Glen on the way to Strontian (right ridge), Kingairloch, Glen Etive, Glenfinnan/Loch Shiel. White Tailed Sea Eagles can also be seen on Mull at Grass Point and from the hide on Loch Sunart.
The best place to see Red Squirrels is outside the kitchen window of lodge number 7. We have a feeder here and 'Rusty' visits up to 3 times a day. For those of you not staying in number 7, the feeder can be seen from the car park. Pine Martens are also regular visitors to the lodges but like the Squirrel need a little enticement. This can be in the form of toast and jam left on the verandah in the evening.
You can see them in early evening daylight in the Summer, and in the dark (verandah light on) in the Winter months).
Whales and Dolphins
The best place to see Bottle Nosed Dolphins is in the Moray Firth North of Inverness. View them from the lighthouse at Fortrose and Rosemarkie. You can also see them from Mull

BirdForum Information Wanted Information Wanted View Thread : RFI: Pine Martens - Speyside or West coast dbradnum Hi everyone,
My parents are heading up to Scotland for Whitsun week (based just S of Inverness, spending time in Speyside and on the west coast) and are very keen to see Pine Marten. We have tried a couple of sites in the past, but without success.
Does anyone have any details of such places, or even semi-reliable sites by day? If private message is more appropriate, that's fine.
Where have BF members seen these fantastic animals?
Thanks in advance,
David edenwatcher This is probably not allowed as it refers to a specific company, but here goes anyway:
Try Speyside Wildlife (www.speysidewildlife.co.uk) - they have a hide which they bait with jam, peanut butter etc.. Cost was £15 for the evening last year and worth every penny. We saw 2 individuals at a range of about 3 feet. Sightings are VERY reliable. Some days are not available (set aside for their tour groups) but we went on a Saturday in May last year and were the only people.
Rob dbradnum Brilliant - that's exactly the sort of thing I was looking for. Now I'm going to be absolutely gutted if parents go and manage to see them... :C

The Waabizheshi (pine marten) project
Why isn’t the pine marten flourishing in the Chequamegon-Nicolet Forest? By Sue Erickson, Staff Writer
Odanah, Wis.— Waabizheshi (marten), a sleek, furry spitfire, hisses and growls as researchers approach its trap camouflaged with pine boughs and snow. Its bright brown eyes stare out from the dark trap, bold and alert, letting everyone know this little guy means business. On this particular day, the trapped marten was “Pale-face,” a pine marten frequently captured on the Chequamegon side of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest and named because of the light-colored fur on his head and face. After a quick prick with a needle containing an immobilizer, Pale-face lost his aggression and was lifted peacefully out of the cage to undergo testing. Unlike the marten’s larger relative, the fisher, whose populations have flourished, martens remain rare, seem not to be reproducing and are dispersing only minimally from reintroduction sites, says GLIFWC Wildlife Section Leader Dr. Jonathan Gilbert. In fact, the pine marten, once extirpated in Wisconsin as a result of over harvest and habitat loss, was reintroduced in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest (CNF) by the late Dr. Ray Anderson in a collaborative effort between the USFS, the state of Wisconsin, and UW-Stevens Point. However, pine martens remain on Wisconsin’s “threatened species” list today.

Wildlife Exhibits
From Alaska to Argentina, Africa to Australia, more than 90 wildlife and habitat scenes illustrate our planet’s amazing diversity. Like three-dimensional “postcards” from places near and far, they capture moments in time, showcasing the world’s wondrous animals and the delicate ecosystems in which they live.
Australia
An island-continent with a landmass as large as the continental United States, Australia has environments ranging from tropical rainforest to coral reef to hot desert. Evolving in isolation for millions of years in these diverse homes, marsupials filled niches from large grazers (kangaroos) and predators (Tasmanian devils) to tiny insectivores (dibblers). Get acquainted with these and other unique inhabitants of the "land down under."
Grizzlies, black bears, and polar bears—majestic, impressive, but often maligned and misunderstood. These habitat scenes feature some of the largest mammals in the Museum's collections. From record-size brown bears on Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula to the rare white Kermodes (a type of black bear!), they’re all here for comparison. Think all seals are the same? There are two main groups, those with external ears and the “earless” ones. Then there are the fur seals and the hair seals. Not to mention the walrus, in a group all by itself. Confused? You won’t be after you see these exhibits of fascinating, sea-going, (former) land mammals.

    'Credible' sightings have prompted efforts to track the pine marten The pine marten - declared extinct in England a decade ago - is making a comeback in North Yorkshire, wildlife experts believe.
    New sightings on the edge of the North York Moors have prompted the Forestry Commission to set out feeding tubes to collect hair samples for DNA analysis. They hope that bait - including the mammal's favourite jam sandwiches - will lure the animals into the tubes. Once common in England, the animals were driven away by Victorian trappers. Gut feeling The Forestry Commission has teamed up with the Moors National Park, Hull University and local conservationists to find conclusive evidence that pine martens have ventured south from their refuge in the Scottish highlands. Brian Walker, Forestry Commission biodiversity officer, said: "My gut feeling is that we do have pine martens in this part of North Yorkshire. "Over the years we've had many sightings, some cases of mistaken identity, but others very convincing.

    http://www.countryreflections.co.uk/columns/pinemarten.htm
    PINE MARTEN: tough hunter on his way back PINE martens could soon be seen again in southern English woodlands - which is bad news for a certain American upstart.
    The grey squirrel, which has driven our native red squirrel almost to extinction, would certainly be on the menu for these ferocious predators. Nimble and agile, pine martens can climb trees as fast as squirrels and will pursue them into the topmost branches - unlike foxes and stoats, which are often left floundering below. According to English Nature, it should now be possible to reintroduce pine martens back to their historic haunts throughout the country.
    "About 150 years ago, pine martens were widespread throughout Britain," a spokesman explained."However, in a few short decades they were almost completely exterminated to protect game birds on large shooting estates.
    "Today they are one of our rarest mammals with good populations restricted to Galloway and north-west Scotland."
    Fully grown, pine martens are about the size of a cat and have rich reddish-brown hair with a creamy yellow throat.
    Comparatively long legs, fur-padded paws and large bushy tails deployed for balance all contribute to their climbing skill.

    Emerging From Obscurity - Researching martens and fishers
    National Wildlife , April-May, 2000 Long overlooked, the fisher and the marten are now coming to light as key indicators of forest health in the West Wildlife researcher Steve Gehman was camped in the middle of Yellowstone National Park, bracing against a winter storm that had descended upon the Shoshone Geyser Basin. Snuggled in a sleeping bag, sheltered by a snow hut, he heard a rustling at the entrance to his frigid abode. In from the cold bounded a brown, tube-shaped animal about the size of a house cat that eyed the startled human and then disappeared into the night. What Gehman encountered that night in 1985 was a fisher, an elusive member of the weasel family. The sighting was notable because the creature had not been seen in the area in more than half a century. For decades, the fisher and its smaller cousin, the marten, have been in decline in many parts of North America because of trapping, logging and habitat fragmentation. But these carnivores were largely overlooked because they are small and difficult to study.
