It’s Turtle Crossing Season! Every year, thousands of turtles are killed on roads while trying to move through their habitat. Female turtles are especially vulnerable because they travel long distances to find nesting sites.

Hudson Bay are well spread out & doing different things. One female (K) has moved close to shore. Bear C has emerged from a den - it's a bit early if she's got new cubs but we'll see if she stays there or moves onto the ice.

Two river otters this morning.

Our team safely immobilized both, collected morphometrics, and fitted GPS backpacks to study movement, home range, and habitat selection.

Grad students do the hard work — I jump in for the fun part.

Handled safely, under approved protocols.

Wildlife trackers for endangered priority species offer alert systems- Geofencing. A specific area is selected, & if an animal strays from the protected area, an immediate signal via SMS or email is sent out. This technology transforms into a life-saving devices.
