Unfortunately, most people are unaware of a potentially volatile situation at a State Wildlife Area in Northern California. I visited Fay Slough Wildlife Area yesterday, and was shocked to learn that it had been taken over by a rogue band of outlaw raptors. Upon entry...
Another year gone by and time for the obligatory "Top Ten" post. Since 2015 was the first full year I spent on the road, it's a pretty amazing variety. From Arizona to Washington and many places in between. It was tougher to narrow it down to ten this year, probably...
-UPDATE- Good news today! (12/17/2015) The LWCF has been authorized for three more years. This is a good start. Hopefully, permanent authorization and funding will follow. I normally avoid political topics on this blog because we all have our own beliefs and...
