I have begun tracking down potential speakers for the JMA Birthday Earth day event. Jack Laws is busy that day, and I had the [crazy] idea that it would be good to have a female speaker this year, since they never have. Tom Rusert told me such amazing things about Zara McDonald of Felidae Conservation Fund that I wrote her contact person and asked if she’d be interested/available. I heard back immediately that she was both and we are talking when she gets back from London. Wouldn’t that be an exciting focus for conservation? Wildlife Corridors for Mountain Lions? L
Later I got an email from Cheryl that she just learned that Monterey SPCA picked up a sick yearling beaver a few days ago who was starting to look a little better. They were in contact with Cheryl Milhilm at Tahoe Wildlife Care and the beaver was starting to take food. Just 31 lbs, it was found wandering around a dry creek bed. My guess is its an early disperser that just didn’t get lucky. Of course I could think of only one question;
Is it a female?
