Great Gray Owls      I learned many interesting things by reading this article on great grey owls. I really had no knowledge of this species before I began, but I now have a certain respect for them because of the familiarity I have gained. One interesting aspect of these owls is their hunting methods.      The great gray owl is a very aggressive hunter when it finds its prey. “These owls don’t just pounce, the plunge” (Warren, p.78). First, they

Dreaded as inhumane executioners, they were abhorred and oppressed. Wolves were not only shot and murdered; they were tormented too. Persuaded that they were an issue to be explained, U.S. subjects bit by bit annihilated dim wolves from the lower 48 states over a time of 25 years. Today, numerous individuals are persuaded that the end of the dark wolf was a blunder, as well as a drawback to the personal e satisfaction in this nation. There has been an open objection

Yet Kodiak flight crews are arguably the least proficient in the USCG. Most units in the lower 48 states have several operational Small Boat Stations within their AOR to conduct practice hoist evolutions. Air Station Kodiak has no nearby stations and only 1 training boat available 7 or 8 months a year. Ref. (a) requires that all Flight Mechanics (FM)

He gave all his money to charity and then was never to be seen by his family again. He traveled through some of the lower 48 states, and finally made his way up to Alaska. This was part of his plan to live off the land, and be just free. He ran into an electrician named James Gallien who picked him while hitch hiking right out of Fairbanks, AK. The story with James Gallien is

Defending the United States of America is the greatest honor any person could ever have. Not everyone can join the military due to medical issues, education levels, credit problems, or even criminal backgrounds. For some of those people that can join the military, they find the military is too much for them and end up getting out early due to a chapter or finish out their enlistment and ETS (Expiration Term of Service). Living the military lifestyle is a unique and demanding way of living; even

awareness can go a long way to solving most problems and dog rescue is no exception. According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), approximately 7.6 million companion animals are admitted into shelters in the United States every year; 3.9 million are dogs, of which 1.2 million are euthanized and only 1.4 million are adopted (the numbers for cats are very similar). That works out to nearly a 35% adoption rate, 41% rate of euthanization, and 26% are strays returned

For Californians, a trip out-of-state comes with many surprises, one of them being gas prices. As any amateur economist knows the reason for the staggering prices is due to additional taxes added on by the state. California being the proactive state that it is has initiated multiple regulations on fuel and not one of them is forgiving to buyers. According to a recent Wall Street Journal article, gas prices in the state are well above the national average due to the harsh regulations of the government

started to decrease in the 1970s, and then the state put a law in the grizzly bears to keep them from going into extinction. By doing this, Grizzlies have made a comeback by bringing their population back up now. People can still hunt them, but it was to be limited. People have donated money and did fund raisers to keep the bears from dying off. Grizzlies have been spotted only in the lower 48 states in America. There is only about 1,500 left in the lower states of
