This week on “I’m a professional… no, really I am!” I accidentally brushed my teeth with hand lotion and almost made a very expensive mistake trying to track our collared #wolves outside of their vhf signal transmission days

On this day a year ago…

#OnTheWhimsOfWolves

POV: you have a day off from flying because there aren’t any new clusters, but you need to go into the office anyway. Luckily, your coworker has curated a cozy work space they allow you to use.

We are halfway through our winter 2024 #OnTheWhimsOfWolves!

This season features 2 wilderness areas, so thanks to the US Forest Service Wilderness team for helping us with land access!

We’re back #OnTheWhimsOfWolves! Both collared wolves are only accessible by helicopter and we live in a temperate rainforest soooooo I brought a lot of office tasks.

It came!

A fully grown wolf biologist with a children’s book about wolves! I love it!

@DrJulieKYoung You couldn’t have picked a picture where I didn’t have stank face?

I searched 2 cougar gps clusters today. One where a male lion spent 2 nights, the other where both a male and female spent 2 nights. Between these 2 sites I found 9(!!) killed pigs, all <6 mo. Lions don't always hunt pigs, but they can clearly do some damage if they want to!

I’m missing #IMC13 where I was supposed to present some of the camera work I’ve been working on. BUT I uploaded my presentation virtually and it’s on demand. Check it out while I take care of this beast that we’re giving hospice care to.
