If you're in the Jackson Hole area and, like us, are excited about this migratory species – the Great Gray Owl – join JH Bird & Nature Club, Tuesday Oct. 10 @ 6:00 pm at Teton County Library for a talk by @UWyoPiEE alumnus, Katherine Gura, PhD, of Teton Raptor Center.

Cool new #roadecology study by @mp_poulin et al., suggesting that elk dynamically balance risks of highway-crossing with benefits of high-quality forage. Fascinating to consider the difficult decisions and tradeoffs that wild animals make every day around our infrastructure.
Journal of Animal Ecology@AnimalEcology25 Jul 2023
Do animals balance the risks and rewards of roads? Using field and GPS data from elk, researchers find they modulate their selection for foraging resources with the risks they experience relative to roads when travelling 🦌🛣️🦌 doi.org/10.1111/1365-2656.13…
