I recently watched a livestream of the anti-wolf bills that passed through the Montana Legislature. The scene was of a chairman or moderator calling on individuals to speak. These individuals were divided into pro-wolf and anti-wolf camps. It is predictable what each said.
In attendance was a state wildlife biologist. But in this hearing chamber â where the lives of these animals, which at this moment were living their lives unaware that their fates were being decided on thin sheets of paper by old men in suits â the biologist did not speak. He did not provide numbers and charts and the years upon years of data his state has compiled on these animals.

The Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge is once again home for a pair of Peregrine Falcons.
The birds have returned for years, laying three eggs.
Falcon nest boxes are installed on the bridge on both the U.S. and Canadian arches as they like to nest on tall bridges. Although the Peregrine Falcon was taken off the Federal Endangered Species list in 1999 the falcon is still listed as an endangered species in Michigan.
The peregrine falcon is one of nature’s swiftest and most beautiful birds of prey.
