Timber storm damage in west central Wisconsin valued at $5 million
DNR foresters in Eau Claire and Menomonie assist landowners after the July 15 windstorm that hit six counties. About 140000 acres statewide were damaged, with salvageable wood potential rising as foresters coordinate sales and prioritize pulp and saw timber to recover up to half the timber value before decay and insects reduce returns.

Crow Hawk Encounters Across Trees and Feathers
Observers recount crow and raven behavior toward hawks during a Medford Christmas bird count. Crows harass hawks to defend territory, while ravens pursue rough legged hawks in the open sky. A cat beside a suet feeder adds a wild note to the day as Nuthatches sample food and a line from ornithologist Aaron Bagg is cited.
