Stanislaus Wildlife Care Center handles three bird flu cases The Stanislaus Wildlife Care Center take measures against avian influenza at its rescue center. BY ANDY ALFARO Three waterfowl infected with avian influenza have come through the Stanislaus Wildlife Care Center near Hughson. The birds were euthanized as part of a statewide effort to contain the latest outbreak, Executive Director Donna Burt said. Two of them were Canada geese found at California State University, Stanislaus. The Turlock campus has several lakes that attract waterfowl.

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”…

MONTPELIER — Vermont’s resident Canada goose hunting season will be held Sept. 1-Sept. 25 to help control Vermont’s resident Canada goose population prior to the arrival of Canada geese migrating south from Canada. A daily bag limit of eight has been set for the Champlain Valley.

A second Canada goose hunting season for resident and migrant birds will be held Oct. 15-Nov. 13 with a daily bag limit of one Canada goose in the Lake Champlain Zone. New this year is a late Canada goose season, targeting resident birds. Within the Lake Champlain zone, the season will be held from Dec. 1-Jan. 21, with a five-bird daily bag limit.

A hunting license is required, and a waterfowl hunter 16 or older must carry current federal and Vermont duck stamps. Federal stamps are sold at post offices, federal refuges and on the U.S. Fish and…

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.

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…

A 17-year-oldhas invented alow-costway to trackelephant poachersin real time.

High school studentAnikaPurihas created amachine-learning-drivenmodel observing the movement patterns of humans and elephants, according toBusinessNews.

And to think, when I was 17, I thought ludicrous was spelt like the rapper, but it’s good to know the future is in the hands of sometech-savvyteens.

While drones are mostly used to detectelephant poachers,Anikasays these devices can be inaccurate, which is what prompted her to inventElSa(short for elephant saviour).

According toAnika,ElSais four times more effective than drones as the technology can analyse movement patterns in thermal infrared videos of humans and elephants.

“I realised that we could use this disparity between these two movement patterns in order to actually increase the detection accuracy of potential poachers,” the New York native said.
