83. Coal Creek Wildlife-Pika The pika s predators are coyotes, weasels, martens and hawks. from ONE DAYON PIKA S PEAK by Ron Hirschi and MOUNTAIN wildlife by Marj Dunmire. http://www.bvsd.k12.co.us/schools/coalcreek/wildlife/pika.html

Pika by Evie, age 9 If you are on Pika's Peak one morning for a walk you might hear a high pitch whistle. you wonder, what could it be? You look around. The whistle is coming from a little rock. You go to it and try to pick it up. But right when you're about to touch it, it scurries off. My friend, if that does happen to you, you might have just heard and seen a pika. Pikas live in mountain areas in western North America including Colorado. The pika has gray fur and a rounded body that looks like a rock. The pika breeds in the spring. They often have two litters with two to four babies in each. Only one of those litters will survive the winter. The babies are born blind and hairless, but will find their territory by their first winter. When the pika is not storing food it sits on a rock to look for predators like coyotes, weasels, martens, and hawks. The pika is active all year. Instead of hibernating in winter, it moves beneath rocks and snow. When an animal or person gets near, pikas make a very high pitched squeak. They eat vegetation like grains, grass, and hay. They're scientific name is Ochotona Priceps . They're related to the rabbit and hare. Pikas are not very big. They're only eight inches long and weigh seven ounces. I got my information by ONE DAY ON PIKAS PEAK by Ron Hirschi.

...awarded to our website! The Vince Shute Wildlife Sanctuary Thousands of people visit the Vince Shute Wildlife Sanctuary every year, to view and learn about black bears, their behavior, habitat needs and life cycles. Visitors also get the opportunity to view a special group of wild bears - that come to this location every summer - from an elevated platform. Nestled in the North Woods of Minnesota, the Sanctuary is located approximately two hours northwest of Duluth. The nearest town is Orr, which is about thirty minutes away. Encompassing some 360 acres, the Sanctuary consists of a combination of habitats: aspen forests, cedar swamps, marshes, beaver ponds, a primary stream, open areas and numerous other resources. In addition to being a seasonal home to a special group of bears, this habitat is also used by such wildlife as whitetail deer, bald eagles, beavers, minks, pine martens, fishers, timber wolves, red squirrels, bobcats, lynx, blue jays, owls, ducks, songbirds, ravens, and a variety of other species. While black bears are the primary focus, the various habitats of the Sanctuary are managed in a manner beneficial to the entire ecosystem. The permanent establishment of the refuge has preserved a unique opportunity to view and to photograph the intimate world of the normally reclusive black bear. The Vince Shute Wildlife Sanctuary also provides a most extraordinary setting for a variety of non-obtrusive scientific studies and educational programs relating to the diverse natural resources found within its boundaries.

Web site menu: HOMEPAGE ACTIVITIES Accommodation Climbing ... CONTACT Wildlife holidays and tours in Scotland Whether you are a bird-watcher, a whale-watcher or just a general wildlife enthusiast, you will find that Scotland makes a very special wildlife holiday destination - a place to see a wide variety of birds, mammals and other wildlife in the dramatic and beautiful setting of the unspoilt Scottish countryside. If ornithology is your thing, you will find that Scotland really is a world class destination for bird-watching. From the huge colonies of birds on Scotland's coastal cliffs to the solitary splendour of the golden eagle or the unique Scottish crossbill, there are so many possibilities it is impossible to mention them all here. If marine tourism is what attracts you, you will find that off the Scottish coast you can get as close as is sensible to whales, dolphins, seals - even otters. And back on dry land you can get close - though perhaps not too close - to magnificent wild animals such as red deer, roe deer, wild cats and pine martens. One of the best ways to appreciate the diversity of wildlife opportunities in Scotland is to go out with an expert guide. A good wildlife guide will not only know how to find the best sights, they will also know how to treat them with the respect that they deserve.

The Mammal Society Fact Sheet No.11 THE PINE MARTEN Martes martes Recognition: Dark brown fur; yellow/white throat patch; long fluffy tail. Head/body length: males 51-54cm; females 46-54cm; Tail length: males 26-27cm; females 18-24cm. Weight: males 1.5-2.2kg; females 0.9-1.5kg. General Ecology: Pine martens are found in the Scottish Highlands and Grampian, with isolated populations in southern Scotland. In England and North Wales pine martens are probably on the verge of extinction although there may still be isolated individuals present in Northumberland and North Yorkshire. Although they occur in a wide range of habitats, pine martens prefer well-wooded areas with plenty of cover. Marten dens are commonly found in hollow trees or the fallen root masses of Scots pines, an association that probably earned pine martens their name; cairns and cliffs covered with scrub are frequently used as alternative den sites. Martens have a very varied diet, which changes with the seasonal availability of different foods. Small rodents are a very important food, but birds, beetles, carrion, eggs and fungi are also eaten. In autumn, berries are a staple part of the diet. Martens mostly hunt on the ground, although they are superb climbers and can climb with great agility. Martens have territories that vary in size according to habitat and food availability. For males these are about 10-25 square kilometres and for females about 5-15 square kilometres. Martens mark their territories with faeces (known as scats) deposited in places where they are conspicuous to other martens; they are frequently left along forestry trails.

ESPN Web HOME Contact Us Newsletter Sign-up Feature Stories ... Daily Email Colo. seeks public's help to catch poacher Citizens who live in and around Carbondale are being asked to help the Colorado Division of Wildlife (DOW) catch a poacher who has been killing deer in the area over the past several weeks. Justin Martens, district wildlife manager in Carbondale, said four deer have been found shot and left to rot. Three of the deer were bucks, one of which qualified as a "Sampson" buck, which allows for a more severe penalty under state law, the others were small bucks and a doe. "The strange thing about this case is that the deer have been found laying where they were shot without anything such as the antlers, heads or any meat being removed," said Martens. "We are working hard to try and stop this person before anymore damage is done" Those who live in and around Carbondale are being asked to look for, and report, any suspicious behavior to the DOW, Operation Game Thief or local authorities. This would include spotlights at night, suspicious vehicles or gun shots. Anyone who gives information leading to the arrest of the specific poacher in this case may be eligible for a $500 reward from Operation Game Thief.

In the wee hours of Tuesday morning, 65 law officers imposed a spot check on four wildlife trading centers in the city's Baiyun District. At 5:10 a.m., a van emerged at Xinyuan Market, the largest wildlife trading center in Guangzhou, and a man in his 30s jumped out of the van and began unloading goods. The law enforcement officers immediately snatched all the game catches on the van including pheasants, foxes, snakes and martens. Around 8:00 am, all the traders who had brought animals to the market were apprehended. Xinyuan, Chatou, Dongbao and Nanjin markets in the Baiyun district are four largest wildlife trading centers in Guangzhou with a daily trade earnings exceeding one million yuan (about US$120,000). The figure could amount to 1.9 million yuan (some US$230,000) in Xinyuan, with the annual figure reaching 700-800 million yuan (anywhere from US$85 million to 97 million).

Home Find Accommodation Special Offers What to see and do ... All About Scotland West Highland Wildlife In an unspoilt area with a low population, there is plenty of room for wildlife, which means the Scottish Highlands provide ideal habitats for a wide range of birds and beasts. In fact, unless you travel with your eyes shut, you are sure to encounter some special creature. Best of all, you don't have to tramp for miles to enjoy exciting wildlife views. Red kites, for example, are easily seen from the car as you travel through the Black Isle north of Inverness while ospreys are everyday birds in the Cairngorms National Park and elsewhere. Red deer, Scotland's largest wild creature, also abound in the Highlands and can often be seen from the road, especially in the cooler months when they move down from the high tops. Another creature closely associated with this area is the golden eagle. Its home is the high moors, crags and mountain corries in many parts of the area. If you are very lucky you may also encounter the spectacular sea eagle in a few places on the west coast, where they have been successfully re-introduced. There are also lots of places where wildlife spotting uses modern technology to provide unrivalled views of various species such as red kites, ospreys and hen harriers. At Boat of Garten, for example, discreet cameras allow you to watch the activities in the ospreys' nests at close-quarters.

It is a small island just south of Oban and is accessed by a small ferry that runs across the Sound of Kerrera. The sun broke through just as we arrived on the island and all looked set for a pleasant afternoon. We decided to walk the six mile loop around the southern end of the island in an anti clockwise way. The steep climb from the ferry took us over to the western side of the island with views out towards Mull and Duart Castle. The walk follows a track which meanders up and down and in and out of the bays. All very scenic pretty easy walking. At the southern tip of the island you can look across to Colonsay and on a clear day it is possible to see Northern Ireland. Not on Tuesday as there was a sea mist all day. Further on we passed Gylen Castle which is currently being restored and the Tea Shop and Bothy which is open Wednesday to Sunday in the Summer. The walk back to the ferry looks out towards the mainland across the Sound of Kerrera and is very wooded. This is in contrast to the barren Western side of the island. It had seemed a long six miles but a very enjoyable day out.

97. Pine Martin [Martes Americana] [Martes Martes]: Wildlife And Nature Photography Pine Martin Martes americana Martes martes Photography wildlife and NaturePhotography of the Rocky Mountains, the best of the WEB s wildlife and http://raysweb.net/wildlife/pages/08.html

Photo Credit: John Marriott Pine Martin [North American: Martes americana] [European: Martes martes] Pine martens are elusive nocturnal mammals which are found in pine forests and rocky scree areas. Suitable refuge sites include rocky crevices, disused squirrel nests (dreys) and holes in trees. Their fur is dark brown to black in colour with conspicuous creamy-orange throat patches. They have a pointed muzzle, prominent ears and a bushy tail. From head to tail adults are 64-81cm (25-32 inches) long . They weigh 1.3-1.7kg (2.8-3.7lb). Feeding Pine martens are excellent climbers, and climb with agility in a squirrel-like manner from tree to tree as they search for food sources (such as birds, squirrels, rodents, rabbits, eggs, beetles, berries and even honey). They may also track down food on the ground where they are equally at home as in the trees. Pine marten signs: Tracks and droppings indicate the presence of pine martens. Their foot prints are round and cat-like with five toes; claw prints are normally absent as they are only visible in soft ground. Droppings containing hair and feathers are deposited in regular latrines near to a boulder or log.
