A beautiful Black Bear Cub. Will we ever see another one? Picture credit: Unknown Score Scott and Company ONE, Florida Black Bears Zero! I had to compose myself before writing this, it took some time. Yesterday in Tallahassee, Judge Reynolds, who I am reasonably sure was appointed by Scott, said that the FWCC had every right and indeed, every responsibility to order […]
This awesome picture of a Pacific Blue whale is courtesy of NOAA fisheries! The United States Navy has made me a fan once again, with this latest move to save the lives of so many of our threatened and endangered Ocean wildlife. Over the past few years in this very Blog, I have written ad nauseam about […]
A juvenile King Cobra Picture credit: Biomedicinal After living in so many places before coming to Florida in 2004, it was only a matter a time before this would happen. And it did. Within a few months of moving here, there it was one day, curled up on the black mat at our back door, waiting for […]
The Paynes Prairie Ecopassage Picture credit: Ebyabe This week was our trip up to Gainesville for my latest Skin cancer check up. It was, as always, a great journey as it goes through the most beautiful part of Central Florida. My check up went well, no more new melanomas, only two minor things and I was sent off until end of November. […]
Cecil the lion at Hwange National Park in 2010. Picture credit: Joe Sutherland/Wikipedia Yesterday the Dental office of Walter Palmer, the killer of Cecil the African Lion, re-opened. The staff announced that they are now open and serving their patients and that the Dr. is not on the premises. Not only is Palmer a murderer, he is a coward. But, what […]
A magnificent Florida Panther Picture credit: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers On our news this morning was a completely unexpected revelation. It came, they said, from the Executive Director of the FWC although, they did not mention Nick Wiley by name. Was this an accident, or requested? It seems that Nick Wiley may or may not have […]
A Nine-banded armadillo in the green swamp in Central Florida Picture credit: http://www.birdphotos.com On our local ABC News this morning, came a story that sent shivers down my spine, once again. Unless you live in the Southwest or Florida, you may have never heard of, or seen an Armadillo. The images on TV this morning were […]
A Green Sea Turtle Hatchling Photo credit: Manuel Heinrich Emha As someone who has in the past, been fond of deep-fried shrimp, as of today, it is off of my menu, forever! I try very hard to be a vegetarian, but alas, shrimp was a guilty weakness, but now, no more. In my mail this morning was […]
And coming soon to Florida! Picture credit: William A. Troyer – US Fish and Wildlife Service In the little publicized, poorly defined FFWS meeting in Jacksonville yesterday, not much was really accomplished or confirmed about the plan to renew Black Bear hunting in this state. We still do not really know exactly how, when, where or what is going […]
A magnificent Florida Black Bear Update: The FFWS Meeting will be tomorrow at 8:30 AM at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Jacksonville, 225 East Coastline Drive on the Third floor. Phone number is 904 588-1234 Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission • Farris Bryant Building 620 S. Meridian St. • Tallahassee, FL 32399-1600 • […]
Our baby Ishi, so far, the only child of our sweet Harriet Not wishing to put you all to sleep or bore you yesterday with a excruciatingly long post, I decided to split it in half, this then, is part two. All the news today is not bad, some of it is actually wonderful. […]
Brown Pelican, Black Bear cub and Rhinos It has been entirely too long since I have been able to share any news about wildlife with all of you, so today’s posting will address several issues, I apologize and hope that you have a big pot of coffee nearby~ To begin this morning, and it […]
Breanna and me at Flagler Beach. Yes, I have been away. But the reason was entirely out of my hands. Dealing since October with biopsies, surgeries and weekly trips to Gainesville for melanomas was a piece of cake compared to the past five weeks. This time it is all mental stress. If you are here, it is […]
Tilikum “performing” at Sea World Orlando Picture credit: David R. Tribble Today, I am both delighted and beyond proud, to be a part of a group of people, a Global Community that took on the Giant Sea World, and according to our local news here this morning, has likely brought the Giant to its […]
The magnificent Florida Panther Photo credit: sfwmd.gov **Thought about this in my sleep last night and wanted to add it.** The “sunshine state” should never build another fossil fuel power plant, everything from this point on should be green energy, as in solar and wind. Florida has an abundance of both and should be using them NOW!! […]
An innocent Baby Calf Picture credit: Wikipedia Many years ago when my daughter was quite young, we happened to be at a place where an ugly truth was just feet away from where we spent the night. It was in a tiny town in North Central California and what happened there that night changed […]
Staff of President Clinton’s One America Initiative, the Initiative on Race Picture credit: Public Domain Watching the returns for Florida last night was a mixed blessing. Most importantly to us, Amendment One passed with 75% of the voters in this state approving it. And thankfully, the elections are over and the dirty nasty commercials […]
Why is this man smiling? Picture credit: William A. Troyer – US Fish and Wildlife Service I apologize for this brutal picture, but it explains my rage. Yes, sorry, two in one morning, both of them were in my email and neither could be ignored. This story is about a subject that pains me deeply […]
Megalopyge opercularis Picture credit: Wikipedia Thank you so very much to Walkingfox for alerting me about this story just now. This is a very short post because it is so important and just learned about. I also wanted to alert as many of you, as soon as possible about this. On our local WFTV News earlier today, was a report about, don’t […]
The Tiger Shark is a regular visitor to Florida Beaches. Picture credit: Albert Kok This story has been on our local news for several days and it has Floridians divided, once again. I truly did not want to write about this, but the story will not go away. Those who fish of course, are completely opposed […]
