Red Winged Blackbird Losses Highlight Season Hazards
A Wisconsin reader muses on road kill patterns amid midsummer hatchlings. Adult red wings, common summer residents, die in traffic while foraging on road shoulders.

It ends with personal observations and an address for comments to M C, Ridgeland.

Yellowstone weighs reintroducing timber wolves in park
The National Park Service may add 30 breeding wolf pairs to Yellowstone and a buffer zone across eastern Idaho, southwest Montana and northwest Wyoming. Director William Penn Mott backs the plan while opposition exists from ranchers and Wyoming lawmakers. The proposal calls for wolf tracking, containment, rancher compensation, and careful regulatory impacts on park use.
