Extractions: Surprisingly enough, for as long as the Kenai Peninsula has been "settled" by pioneers, the abundance of fish and wildlife present today is an extraordinary testament to the people who have called this area their home. Unlike most areas in the Lower 48 where civilization equates to lost habitat and the disappearance of fish and game, the Peninsula and its waters support every species of critter that was present before the white man arrived. Combine that with a growing tourism infrastructure who's goal it is to provide an opportunity to experience all the Peninsula has to offer and you have what some folks here call "a little piece of Paradise." The days are gone when a tourism boom meant eventual degradation of the environment and its contents. Today's Alaskan tourism industry along with the surrounding communities and state and federal agencies are committed to insuring today's recreational opportunities will continue for generations to come. The Kenai Peninsula offers many readily available opportunities to view and photograph those species listed below. We have included directions to all the best locations in the
Extractions: Polar bears are the major attraction of the WMA, but also important are the coastal caribou. Beluga whales are plentiful in the Churchill River and Nelson River estuaries in the summer. As well as being part of a major nesting ground for the eastern prairie population of Canada geese, over 225 other species of birds have been identified in the region. Arctic fox, lynx, wolverine, marten, ermine, otter, mink, and beaver can be found in the WMA.
Wildlife On The Gunflint Trail, Minnesota Shrews and ermine visit the underground networks of tunnels in hopes of catchinga tasty mouse or vole For monthby-month wildlife events, please click here. http://www.gunflint-trail.com/winter/wildlife.html
Extractions: Winter wildlife watching is a favorite among Gunflint Trail visitors. Whether you like to watch the Chickadees and Nuthatches at the feeder outside your cabin window, or track Ruffed grouse through the woods on snowshoes, you will find wildlife and signs of wildlife in many places. Deer and moose are seen quite often. Moose like to lick the fresh salt from the pavement on the Trail. (Hint: Keep an eye out for them as you drive, and be ready to stop and watch for a bit.) Don't be surprised if you see more than one or if you come upon one kneeling in the road enjoying a leisurely snack Snowshoeing and cross-country skiing are both excellent modes of travel for observing wildlife - the pace takes care of that. Wildlife tracks are especially easy to spot in the winter. Watch for the trails left by otters, deer and moose hoof prints, an occasional set of wolf tracks, or the marks left by the wings of an owl as it swoops for dinner. Many animals will live and burrow under the comfort of the snow, especially mice and voles. Red squirrels will stash their food beneath the snow's surface, and ruffed grouse will hang out there for shelter and warmth. Shrews and ermine visit the underground networks of tunnels in hopes of catching a tasty mouse or vole, and foxes, coyotes, and great gray owls sometimes dive into the snow for a meal. Beavers stay snug in their lodges and make forays to retrieve food from their underwater caches. Muskrats don't store food, so they have to make daily foraging trips through the chilly water.

Extractions: Photos by Henry H. Holdsworth, Wild By Nature Gallery www.wildbynaturegallery.com Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks form the heart of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, a 14-million-acre tract of land that includes seven surrounding national forests and three national wildlife refuges. Over 40,000 large mammals inhabit this vast region. When winter arrives, some migrate to warmer areas. Others, like bears, ground squirrels, and marmots hibernate. And still others, including bald eagles, bison, mule deer, moose, coyotes, and elk, simply adjust to the challenges winter presents. Time observing them and photographing their spectacular habitat is time well spent. In Grand Teton National Park, moose are sighted at Oxbow Bend, in the willows on the north end of Moose-Wilson Road, along the Gros Ventre riverbank en route to Kelly, and in meadows bordering Antelope Flats Road. The latter is a good place to look for the parks resident bison herd as well. Elk congregate in the National Elk Refuge north of Jackson. Trumpeter swans winter on Flat Creek, and otters are frequently seen at the Oxbow. Bighorn sheep scale the cliffs near Stinking Springs in Hoback Canyon and the bluffs west of the National Elk Refuge Road. Nesting eagles reside near the Swinging Bridge south of Jackson.

Extractions: FOODPLANTS OF CATERPILLARS OF BUTTERFLIES AND MOTHS Many caterpillars of butterflies and moths feed on a wide variety of plants from a range of plant families. Others are much more specific, and only feed on plants within one plant family, or even in some cases within one genus of plants. To conserve butterflies and moths it is therefore vital to provide their foodplants by managing habitats appropriately. Butterflies Caterpillars of several of the common butterflies from the family Nymphalidae feed on nettles. These include the larvae of Small Tortoiseshell, Peacock and Red Admiral.

Extractions: In the far northeast corner of Alaska lies one of America's great natural treasures, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). Its 19 million acres comprise one of the last places on earth where an intact expanse of arctic and subarctic lands is today in grave danger of being destroyed by those seeking whatever oil might lie beneath its fragile tundra. The Arctic Refuge is among the most complete, pristine, and undisturbed ecosystems on earth. Here coastal lagoons, barrier islands, arctic tundra, foothills, mountains, and boreal forests provide a combination of habitats, climate, and geography unmatched by any other northern conservation area - conditions that support the Refuge's diverse community of life. Coastal Plain The Coastal Plain of the Arctic Refuge runs from a series of rolling bluffs in the narrowest western half to a wider, flatter area in the east where one can seemingly see forever. The 1.5-million acre Coastal Plain, traversed by a dozen rivers, lies nestled between the dark, jagged peaks of the Brooks Range and the Arctic Ocean ice pack. The Brooks Range mountains compress the coastal plain and foothills tundra to a band between 20 and 40 miles wide between the mountains and the Arctic Ocean. In contrast, the mountains further west rise far away from the coastline, creating broad coastal tundra ranging from 100 to 200 miles in width in the Prudhoe Bay region.
