An elusive bird has been photographed on an island of Papua New Guinea, the first documentation of the animal since 1882. The black-naped pheasant-pigeon was photographed for the first time in 140 years with a remote camera trap set up by a research team conducting a search of lost birds.

The expedition team, working as part of theSearch for Lost Birds, had been looking for the bird on Fergusson Island for a month, according to a press release.

The Search for Lost Birds is a collaboration of three conservation and bird groups: Re:wild, founded by Leonardo DiCaprio and a group of conservation scientists, American Bird Conservancy, and BirdLife International, which is a group of 115 national NGOs.

The group set up 12 cameras on Mt. Kilkerran, Fergusson’s highest mountain. It was the first camera trapping study…

Hunter shares story after accident makes him paralyzed

A Ramsey man was paralyzed during a hunting accident, but now he’s sharing his story with the hope that others don’t make the same mistake he did.

(FOX 9)-Andy Eha has been a bow hunter for more than 20 years, but now this avid outdoorsman has spent the last two months inside after a hunting accident left him paralyzed from the chest down.

“I’m very independent. I don’t like people helping me ever. So it’s been very, very hard for me to adjust to that,” said Eha.

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – A Hickman man was accidentally shot at close range Friday while hunting in Buffalo County, the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission said.

The hunter was shot around 8:45 a.m. along the Platte River.

He was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital in Kearney, where he was treated for injuries to his arm that were not life-threatening.

Investigators think the man was shot by another member of his hunting party, Game and Parks said.

The commission is currently investigating the incident.

Officials remind hunters of the four primary rules of firearm safety:

• Treat every firearm as if it is loaded.
• Always point the muzzle of your firearm in a safe direction.

Nicknamed ‘the Blob’, a large patch of abnormally warm water covering a section of the Pacific Ocean from 2014 to 2016 behaved just like a B-grade horror movie, having a devastating impact ona wide variety of species.

A new study on the Santa Barbara Channel off the Californian coast highlights how this environmental horror show continues to affect marine ecosystems.

The Blob caused significant shifts in aquatic ecosystems at the time, particularly impacting sessile animals, those stuck in place like anemones. This latest research shows that six years later, underwater populations inhabiting the kelp forest ecosystem still aren’t back to where they were.

I’m responding to the article “Pa. Game Commission: Deer crossing roads more often in autumn.”

Executive Director Bryan Burhans says that the rut is the reason deer are crossing roads more often and that drivers should drive more cautiously. While there is increased deer movement during the rut the main threat to drivers and the cause of many car-deer collisions is hunting. Jerry Feaser, spokesman for the Game Commission said, “November historically is the busiest month because hunters start pushing deer through the woods and across busy roadways.”

Studies show that hunting actually increases car-deer collisions. According to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration, most car-deer collisions happen during hunting season. Pennsylvania’s second largest insurance company (the nation’s 12th largest insurer) —…
