STACY, Minn. - The sedatives worked quickly on the 300-pound black bear named Ethel. She circled in the morning sun and then dizzily sat down, huffing at her handlers as she laid her head near the corner of her pen and fell asleep. The first thing Peggy Callahan noticed was the paw on the bear's back right leg. The claws were twice as long the other three. The thick foot pad, which should have already naturally shed, looked fresh.

Peggy Callahan, executive director at the Wildlife Science Center, and her daughter Meg, help position Ethel, one of their resident black bears, so Liz Gigler, executive director of the RPAW Animal Wellness Center, can take an x-ray of her rear leg Monday, May 12, 2025, in Columbus, Minnesota. Ethel, who was found orphaned as a cub in 2013, was getting an x-ray on her leg to determine the cause of a persistent limp. (Anthony Souffle/The Minnesota Star Tribune/TNS) TNS STACY, Minn.

Spring turkey hunting season, which ends May 31, has begun. Turkeys, which were once completely wiped out of Minnesota and nearly all of the United States, are thriving.

Of the thousands of native plants and trees that most Americans and nearly all Minnesotans can plant in their yards, one species towers above the rest. To do the most good for the most things, and support the most life, plant an oak tree, according to research from University of Delaware entomologist Doug Tallamy. The reason? It's all about the bugs and, more specifically to places like Minnesota, the caterpillars.
