  • Bird flu finds its way into western wildlife

    1 week ago | nationalobserver.com | Kylie Mohr

    This story was originally published by High Country News and appears here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration Last fall, a Clallam County, Washington, resident spotted a young male cougar walking slowly through a field on the northern edge of the Olympic Peninsula. It was the middle of the day - a clear sign that something was off - and he was also skinny and weak, dragging his matted tail in the mud.

  • Grand Teton National Park's iconic spring tradition for locals

    1 week ago | sfgate.com | Kylie Mohr

    The sun shone bright, almost painfully so, on the snow surrounding me as I rode my bike through Grand Teton National Park for the first time in 2017. Spring is slow to arrive at 6,000 feet above sea level in Wyoming, and I squinted even through my sunglasses to marvel at the jagged Teton peaks spread out in front of me.

  • The clever way one town is outsmarting Yellowstone's bears

    1 week ago | sfgate.com | Kylie Mohr

    Last summer, a 560-pound hungry grizzly bear tore apart the Yellowstone National Park gateway town of Gardiner, Montana. He tipped over trash cans, broke windows and woke people up in his quest to find food. Gardiner residents and tourists were on edge for a month and a half as the bear ransacked drive-thru coffee shops, entered homes and was even caught on security footage peering into the windows of the town’s grocery store in the middle of the night.

  • In Western Wildlife, Bird Flu Deaths Highlight Uncertainties

    2 weeks ago | undark.org | Kylie Mohr

    Last fall, a Clallam County, Washington, resident spotted a young male cougar walking slowly through a field on the northern edge of the Olympic Peninsula. It was the middle of the day — a clear sign that something was off — and he was also skinny and weak, dragging his matted tail in the mud. The resident called a Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, or WDFW, game warden and Mark Elbroch, puma director of Panthera, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting wild cats globally.

  • The road to Yellowstone National Park is a roadkill mess

    2 weeks ago | sfgate.com | Kylie Mohr

    At first sight, Highway 89 in Montana doesn’t look dangerous. It’s bucolic: horses and cattle graze near the road, the Yellowstone River winds in and out of sight, and the Absaroka Mountains rise sharply to the east. But with alarming frequency, this two-lane highway en route to Yellowstone National Park becomes a bloody mess when wildlife cross the road.

Yellowstone, Grand Teton and Glacier national parks are on the cusp (ish) of opening for the summer season. What stories do you want to see about/from these places in the coming months? 🥾🌲🏔️🌼
