We Saved the Puffins. Now a Warming Planet Is Unraveling That Work

January 23, 2022January 22, 2022 Supertrooper 1 Comment

POLL: Should US Wildlife “Killing” Services Be Disbanded?

July 13, 2018February 18, 2021 Supertrooper Leave a comment

From foxes and falcons to otters and owls, the USDA program is doing away with wildlife in droves. Wow.

Is ‘Baiting’ an ethical way to photograph wild owls?

April 21, 2017February 18, 2021 Supertrooper 9 Comments
