Ohio DNR urges caution on the ice

Fishing, News, Ohio /

Ohio’s natural wonders shine in the wintertime. However, as the temperatures drop, it is important to remember during those chilly adventures that “no ice is safe ice.” While frozen lakes, ponds, and rivers may be alluring to outdoor explorers, ice is never 100% safe and the Ohio DNR (ODNR) urges outdoor enthusiasts to stay alert.
“Winter recreation can be a thrilling experience, but it’s crucial for everyone to recognize that no ice can be considered completely safe,” ODNR Director Mary Mertz said.

Snowy owl rescued from car grille by Minnesota woman who saved another owl hours earlier

Minnesota, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News /

Annabell Whelan woke up Tuesday and frantically checked on her holiday overnight guest — Nowl the snowy owl, who she rescued from the grille of a car the day before.
Whelan was out with her boyfriend’s family Monday in Duluth, Minnesota, when she saw the owl “just hanging out there, literally” after car and bird had collided, she told The Associated Press. The car’s owner had already called for help, but the animal rescue organization that the bird needed was closed — so Whelan stepped in, not for the first time that day.

Pennsylvania bill would use fences around crops to stem ag damage, includes PGC cost-share funding

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, National News, News, Pennsylvania /

A bill being drafted by a Pennsylvania legislator would create a program to erect deer fencing around crops, and part of the cost would be paid by the Pennsylvania Game Commission.
State Rep. Perry Stambaugh, R-New Bloomfield, is circulating a co-sponsorship memo for what he said is a long-term solution to the crop-damage issue. Stambaugh intends to introduce a bill in February that would create a 50/50 cost-share program between farmers and foresters and the Game Commission to erect wildlife-deterrent fencing to protect crops and forests from damage, mainly from deer.

Steve Sarley: Conspiracies go wild on missing turkeys from Illinois suburb

Featured, Illinois, Nature Page & Night Sky /

I’m going to continue with a story I am calling “The Case of the Missing Turkeys.” I began my mysterious tale in the last issue of Illinois Outdoor News. 
I had written about how I had discovered a rather large number of wild turkeys living in the suburb of Wheaton. The birds seemed to be using Cantigny Park’s beautiful acreage as their home base. I had seen many birds in the park and in the areas close by.
