What a beautiful spot! We stayed in a motel right on the ocean and listened to the waves crashing all night. The Rogue River comes out there, and one of the really fun things to do is to take a jet boat up the Rogue River. The scenery and the wildlife were spectacular. Bald eagles, bear, deer, and all sorts of fish and ducks, were plentiful.

Monday, July 5th, 2010Jaguar Habitat Too Late?
Saturday, January 16th, 2010The U.S. government has finally agreed to allow a protected habitat for the North American Jaguar. However, there are no known Jaguars in the U.S. right now — not sense Macho B was killed last year. In honor of this decision, take a look at the Amazing Jaguar bamboo t-shirt.
Border Fence Affect on Wildlife
Sunday, March 15th, 2009Check out today’s Arizona Daily Star for an article about the affect of the border fence on wildlife. There is a depressing picture of a Javelina family turning back from the fence. I hope they weren’t separated from their pack! I’ve mentioned in earlier posts my concern about the border fence’s impact, especially on the jaguar. Defenders of Wildlife has been pointing out this issue for awhile. In particular, they say that the concerns “include fragmentation of habitat; increase of wildlife disturbance by motorized vehicles that now have more access; and severing of migration and dispersal corridors for animals such as the jaguar, ocelot, black bear, cougar and coatimundi, all species that require large amounts of habitat.”
