Another chilly day with snow and rain in the morning.


They still haven't opened the Slough Creek road, but a grader did show up this morning and start working on it. So, another day of trying to see the wolves from over a mile and a half away.


There was some activity when the whole pack attacked the alpha female. It only lasted a minute or so and after it was over, the chief protagonist seemed to be friends with her, again. I've heard several explanations for what was going on, but I don't think anybody really knows. I'll ask Rick McIntyre the next time I see him. If anybody knows, he would. He's the world's foremost expert in wolf behavior, having watched them and taken notes daily since their reintroduction in 1995.


In the meantime, I went bear hunting, again. I saw several grizzlies and this black bear very near the road,. This was taken as I drove past:

  Wednesday, May 17,2023 A good day. Lots of wolf activity this morning. We briefly saw several pups, had lots of wolf interaction, heard howling, and watched a group go off on a hunt. Not much for bears, but here's a short video of a big greeting scrum before they went off hunting: I've found a phone-to-scope adapter that will let me react quicker to events like this, so next year's videos should be better.

  Sunday, May 14,2023 Bears! The wolf watching was slow this morning. Nothing interesting happened, but I did learn why the pups are late coming out of the den. Rick McIntyre, the wolf expert, has behavior notes going back to just after the reintroduction. This pack dug out the den we are watching – we call it the sage den – about 10 years ago. Rick went back in his notes and discovered that each year they have used that den, the pups didn't emerge until about 2 weeks after all the others. The thought is that the exit from the den is so steeply sloped, they can't climb out of it until they are bigger. So, we probably have another week or so to wait. Meanwhile, I've been seeing bears. 7 separate bears, all grizzlies yesterday and 10 today – 7 grizzlies and 3 black bears. The black bears were interesting. I was going up to investigate the peregrine falcon nest near Calcite Springs. On the way, at Rainy Lake was a bear jam – a mom black bear and 2 yearling cubs: ...

  Saturday, May 20,2023 A sad day. 2 more pups died. We saw wolf 907 bring them out of the den. Nobody knows why they died. I did see a moose close enough to photograph on my way in this morning. It's been hanging around the Floating Island Lake and Elk creek area for several days, now.
