Four #mountainlion kittens collared today with expandable collars. Two males and two females, approximately 5 weeks old. Look at the size of the paws on this little male!
Found this spotted salamander the other day and was lucky to get a few shots of him. Did you know spotted salamanders can live up to 30 YEARS in the wild?!
Just because we are stuck inside doesn’t mean that we can’t appreciate what we have in our own back yards!
Check out these shots I took this morning of an Eastern Chipmunk, chickadee and northern cardinal.
A Sand County Almanac is still one of my favourite books. I first read his book in the beginning of my undergrad. The chapter “Thinking like a mountain” helped me determine that I wanted to pursue wildlife ecology.
Today is the 72nd anniversary of Aldo Leopold's death. He died while fighting a wildfire on his neighbour's property. A giant in wildlife conservation. https://t.co/vSIgimEOb8
Everyone meet Rosie! 🌸 This sweetie is a four month old husky pup. She has had a tough start to life, but everyday she is opening up and getting more comfortable.

My completed #mountainlion skull cleaned by yours truly. My family may think I’m a crazy person in the making, but I can’t help but add to my skull collection! Check out the size of the canines in the last photo 😱
Can’t wait to get back out this field season and track Alberta #mountainlions . Upon finding a fresh track, we “box it in” & then release the dogs on the scent. Then we pray the dogs put the cat up a tree. From there we can immobilize the cat, collar & sample the individual 🧬💉
