Yesterday the snow melted big time. King Salmon Creek had water on top of the ice. I am looking forward to the creeks ice breaking as I hear it is noisy and spectacular to watch. I talked with a native towns person yesterday and they had been snowmachining at Brooks Camp and said the valley road had deep, deep, layers of snow. It may be a while before we see the grass around here. Today's forecast calls for rain and snow.
Right now it is hunting season on wolves and they are taking a beating as bag limits are high and the weather conditions do not favor the wolf. I was hoping we would get to collar some of them in the park to see what our populations look like but the number of hoops you have to jump through to place collars on wolves in a wilderness area is high and I didn't get through them. Not for lack of trying though. Next year we will be all set. Right now the field work is limited to owl surveys and I don't do another one of them till next week. March needs to go away!
