I asked a group of wildlife rehabilitators: “What are some of the Worst Bird Myths? That’s where I learned that dog food and applesauce is the staple diet for all nestlings!” Do not feed birds dog food and applesauce, do not feed them bread and milk.

In simplest terms it is where the landfast ice meets the open ocean, and it is a magnet for wildlife, especially in the 24 hour light of the Arctic spring.

Stephanie has been dealing with the usual "dogs-love-to-run" and "it's-part-of-our culture" and "this-is-what-they're-bred-to-do" crowd, which is a thankless, enervating and maddening job. The Fish and Wildlife Commission and Governor Crist need to hear there is an outcry in order for Nosey to be confiscated. The situation is dire.

People would often express surprise that I, someone that cared about wildlife conservation, would eat meat.
