Bear River Migratory Research Paper

The wildlife refuge complex in the Klamath River Basin is part of a migratory bird wetland habitat system that spans the western seaboard. Wilson (2010) refers to the Pacific Coast wetland habitats as being“ like links in a chain ” that lead birds from wintering grounds to summer breeding habitats, which are only effective if each one remains intact(p. 7). It is estimated that three quarters of the birds traveling through this chain make a stop in the Klamath Basin, and roughly half of those can be found at Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge in northern California (Foster 2008 ;Wilson 2010 ). Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge and it's neighbor Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) also serve as sources of farmland for local farmers, who are able to lease lands under the Kuchel Act of 1964 (Kuchel Act 1964). If there is water left over from irrigating farmland, it is allocated to remain on the refuges to provide wetland habitat for birds. Water scarcity has posed a serious threat to birds that use the refuges. In 2012, avian cholera killed more than 10,00 birds in the Klamath refuges, a result of overcrowding in scarce pools of water. In 2014 an average of 100 infected bird carcasses were discovered a day during the summer months(Jarrell 2014).

The exploration and settlement of the Americas by the Europeans had devastating effects on the Native Americans. As Europeans began to explore the Americas and form settlements a great majority of them saw the Native Americans as savages and pagans that needed to be civilized. As exploration and settlements expanded the Native American population and culture was decimated by disease, war, loss of land, the exploitation internal feuding among the tribes and enslavement.

Ethan Smith Mr. Cotter Period 4 9/5/14 It is 1492, and many Europeans are hungry for exploration. The “New World” was seen as the future of trade. But there was one problem; the current way of shipping from Asia was by slow land travel, touching many hands before they reached the European market. With a market that was hungry and the means to travel by sea, Christopher Columbus set sail under the endorsement of queen Isabella of Spain, searching for passage to Asia. What Columbus would find was not Asia, but America. This discovery as time would tell, would not come without consequence. In the age of the new world, exploration, conquest and settlement would have consequences for both the people who were adventuring to these new lands as well

The Anacostia river, a sanctuary for hundreds of plants and animals. One evening when I was cruising down this very river, I spotted a Bald Eagle. The first one I have ever seen in the wild. I was captivated by its grace, only to remember that it is an endangered animal. The problem that the Bald eagle has, as well as many of the others who live off the river is the river itself. The river is murky, and is contaminated with toxins from fertilizers, pesticides and other harmful substances. There is also unwanted ubiquitous pollutants that animals are sure to mistake for food, and the wetlands that surround the river were also damaged. Restoring the Anacostia River is problem that can be solved.

Siren like howling pierces through the tall pines. Their paws make a thundering pound as they run over the hard packed mud. Teeth bared, saliva dripping from the sharp white daggers. The tearing of tree bark floods through the forest floor as a silky black bear digs it's claws

Grizzly bears are a very unique type of bear. The bear has long sharp rounded claws. They also have large muscles in their back that help them dig. The bear has grizzled fur to help distinguish them from black bears. It is very important that we do everything to protect the Grizzly population.

Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) populations have increased significantly in the past 30 years due mainly to hunting restrictions and banning of the harmful pesticide DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) (Blood and Anweiler 1995; Stinson et al. 2007; Elliott et al. 2011). British Columbia (BC) hosts a large portion of North America’s nesting Bald Eagles (Elliott et al. 2011). However, there is little literature available on their ecology in the province, including in the Vancouver region which is the focus of our study. Understanding aspects of eagle behaviour such as their predation and disturbance of other species are critical to managing ecosystems in the context of rapidly increasing eagle populations. Furthermore, shorelines in Vancouver

Bear safety While in the backcountry never ever travel alone always try to travel with a group or a few more people other than yourself. While you're walking always stay on the flagged trail u have a better chance on not running into a bear. A wise decision is to always

Articulating My Position on this issue The following are some of the measures that should be taken in order to conserve the wild bears in Alaska as well as in other parts of the world:

i am working-class, black, gay, queer, autistic political activist, who has ideas and concepts which challenge the images typically featured in extremely white Bear Culture. Bear Culture is a subculture of gay men that are often larger or medium and hairy. When I explored the subculture as a part of my process of coming out as a queer man, I saw very few black men and people of color in the culture's media except for works made by Japanese gay men who identified with the Bear Culture and other gay artists of color. Japanese artists like Seizoh Ebrubashi, Genoroh Tagame, and Kazuhide Ichikawa produce work that is not Eurocentric, feature aspects of their culture and feature men that are Japanese instead of making work featuring mostly White men.

The Great Bear Rainforest is the largest remaining cool temperate rainforest in the world. Covering up to 32,000km2, The Great Bear Rainforest stretches along British Columbia's north and central coast. With mild weather all year, occasional strong winds from Chilcotin Plateau will sweep through the rainforest. The Great Bear Rainforest features many

The North American River Otter is one breed of the Lontra, or otter. This animal is a quick, intelligent, and clever hunter. Although hunted for their beautiful pelts, river otters are still found in almost every region. They are smart and playful, and very outgoing creatures. This paper, will discuss why river otters are one of the most amazing animals.

Even though the national wildlife doesn’t really offer any detailed breakdown on how this problem can be determined. During this article it could also weaken the emotional connection that you would have with the audience. Being that they want to grab more attention by showing that this issues are bigger than they really seems. Within the “national wildlife federation” it has a strong point discussing the topic of the article it mentions which is comprehensive balance. National wildlife didn’t really focus on making this argument double sided or provided a way to sidestep the spill in the near

If you go down to the woods in Trentino, you might just get a surprise. The region is home to over 60 brown bears: so many that the regional authority is asking the governments permission to cull them. The animals now live in close contact with humans, attack livestock and
