Wolves
Posted: Fri Oct 17, 2014 6:59 pmAmazing short video from a documentary about how wolves changed the ecosystem in Yellowstone for the better. It brought me to tears - tears of hope for our future.

No really, good one.

Actually, having grown up in an area heavily overpopulated by white-tailed deer, many people say they are bad for the environment.

I've heard a lot of people say they don't like deer, but not because of any harm to 'the environment'. Rather because they harmed their gardens and flowerbeds.
In my year living in Pennsylvania, I think I saw more deer than people.

A number of years back, I was coming home from the rally in Michigan's UP, and stopped along M28 to do a little stargazing (no light pollution, salt-on-black-velvetskies). I was in The Seney Stretch, a 25-mile run through a nature preserve -- the only building is a highway rest area.
I'm about three miles west of Seney (I'm familiar with the area from my USAF daze up there), and marveling at Orion as viewed through a pair of 10x50's. While packing up, I heard what I thought was a dog barking down the road in Seney. "Awful funny bark", I thought...maybe the dog's sick or something. I listened some more, and it suddenly dawned on me, that's no dog -- that's a wolf...I just had to stand there for a minute, listening to a marvelous sound.
Then someone answered him...
Across the road, in the brush, couldn't have been more than a hundred feet away...I'm listening to two wolves talk to each other.
The penny dropped...they were most likely discussing lunch, aka that standing rack of The Other White Two-Legged Meat, namely ME...
Got myself locked back in that car faster than you would have thought humanly possible...
