Seeing bears isn’t uncommon for residents of the city of Arcadia in Los Angeles County, but what some saw Sunday upset many of them.

A large bear, which neighbors said was a regular in the area, was spotted resting inside a backyard around noon Sunday with an arrow sticking out of it,CBS Los Angeles reports.

It was tough to see and hear for Ernie Camacho.

“When we saw the bear initially laying on the front lawn, it was probably 25-30 feet from us and he was helpless. He laid on his side, he perched his head up to look at us and, almost as though asking for help, he lifted his paw up, which was the most heart-wrenching thing,” Camacho said. “The arrow was probably, well I couldn’t tell how large the arrow was…

Avian flu outbreak has been confirmed in Eastsound area

September 2nd, 2022|0 Comments


||| FROM RUSSEL BARSH for KWIAHT |||


More than a dozen Canada geese visiting shorelines and farm ponds in the Eastsound area have died suddenly in the last two weeks. Testing by Kwiaht and by San Juan County Public Health have independently confirmed the presence of avian flu, which is often spread by seasonal migrations of wild geese and other waterfowl.

“Highly pathogenic” avian influenza (HPAI) is very contagious. Owners of ducks, geese, chickens and other domestic poultry should take steps to isolate them from ponds or foraging areas that may be shared with Canada geese.

HPAI is a respiratory virus. Symptoms of infection include nasal discharge, respiratory distress, disorientation, difficulty standing or walking, and lethargy. Infected birds tend to die within 48 hours…

USDA bans import of harvested game birds from Canada

https://www.ducks.org/press-room/usda-bans-import-of-harvested-game-birds-from-canada?poe=home

WASHINGTON, D.C. – September 3, 2022 – The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) announced that effective immediately game birds taken by hunters in Canada will not be permitted to enter the United States regardless of the province in which they were taken. This reverses a statement a week ago that imports would only be restricted on birds taken in Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza priority control zones. 

The statement was issued at 6:35 p.m. Eastern Time on Friday, September 2, 2022, leading into the Labor Day holiday weekend. This last-minute, after-hours, notice is a disturbing development. Waterfowl hunting seasons in a number of Canadian provinces opened on September 1, meaning American citizens currently hunting north of the border may be unaware the ducks and geese they are taking won’t be allowed back in the U.S.

“Hunters are left to wonder why APHIS would reverse course on such a consequential decision, announced after hours on a holiday weekend, with zero notice or opportunity to be heard from stakeholders,” said Ducks Unlimited CEO Adam Putnam. “DU members are justifiably upset by the absence of science and the total lack of transparency around this sweeping regulation that does not appear to have even included the US Fish and Wildlife Service in its development.”

Ducks Unlimited has issued a letter to USDA APHIS administrator Keven Shea protesting this policy change and requesting immediate reconsideration of the decision.

“Advocate” Pleased with Government Decision to Allow Sunday Hunting

Advocate Pleased with Government Decision to Allow Sunday Hunting

A long-time hunting and fishing advocate says he’s pleased that the provincial government has finally decided to approve Sunday hunting, but says the decision seemed to come out of the blue.

Barry Fordham says efforts to introduce Sunday hunting were initiated years ago, but at the time they courted a lot of controversy, especially among berry pickers who wanted one day in the woods without the risk of hunters in the area.

The province announced last week that hunting will be allowed on Sundays throughout the coming hunting season beginning with the bow hunt last weekend.

Fordham says while he’s pleased with the decision, it—ike the decision to introduce a cull on cormorants—seemed to come out of nowhere.

He’s mentioned it a couple of times in passing, but hadn’t heard any “big push for it”…

MEXICO CITY, Sept 2 (Reuters) – Satellites recorded another large methane leak at an offshore platform belonging to Mexico’s Pemex in August, according to exclusive data shared with Reuters, even as pressure mounts on the state oil company to reduce these emissions.

Three satellites recorded images of methane plumes at the Ku-Maloob-Zaap oil field cluster in the Gulf of Mexico during six days between Aug 5 and Aug 29, said Itziar Irakulis-Loitxate, a scientist from the Polytechnic University of Valencia.

https://www.adn.com/alaska-news/wildlife/2022/09/02/hunter-mauled-by-brown-bear-he-shot-near-anchorages-ship-creek-official-says/

A hunter was attacked by a brown bear Thursday morning near Ship Creek after he shot it but didn’t realize it was still alive, an Alaska Department of Fish and Game official said.

The hunter, treated at a hospital for injuries, was able to make his way out of the area without calling for rescue, said Cory Stantorf, an assistant wildlife biologist for the Anchorage area.

The man shot a large adult brown bear between about 9 and 10 a.m. in an area near Ship Creek and up the valley from Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson land, Stantorf said. It is legal to hunt in the area, he said.

The man then approached the bear, which he thought was dead, and it got up and charged him, the biologist said.

The bear wounded him during the attack, according to Stantorf, although he said he…
