WXPR Wildlife MattersWildlife Matters: A Common Bird In an Unexpected PlaceA chance encounter with a common bird in an unexpected place inspired the topic for this week’s Wildlife Matters with the Masked Biologist. Recently I was walking in the woods to take a look at some work done to repair damage done to a small wetland. As I approached the water’s edge, I heard a very familiar sound. Sometimes described as a chittering, or a rattle, but always considered loud. If you are familiar with the alarm call of the red squirrel, and think of it louder and somewhat harsher, then you might recognize the song of the belt...2021-08-0204 minWXPR Wildlife MattersWhat Makes the Snapping Sound Around Lily Pads in Lakes?Inspired by a Curious North question, this week’s Wildlife Matters finds the Masked Biologist pondering what might be causing a snapping or popping sound in and around lily pads. The answer may surprise you. If you weren’t already aware, WXPR has a great feature called Curious North. You can submit your questions or ideas you have about a variety of topics here in the Northwoods, and staff and feature writers (like myself) help answer them. Today’s episode of Wildlife Matters was inspired by a Curious North question: What is the snapping sound that seems to go with lily p...2021-07-2604 minWXPR Wildlife MattersWhy Are People Seeing So Many Foxes This Year?There seem to be more red foxes than usual this year across northern Wisconsin. In this week’s Wildlife Matters, the Masked Biologist takes an in-depth look at these fascinating canines. Recently a colleague and I were out in a boat doing a survey when we saw some activity on shore. We moved in for a closer look and were treated to a show. A red fox was raiding a snapping turtle nest, carrying off one egg at a time, caching them in different locations nearby. When finished, the fox used its nose to fill the turtle nest back in an...2021-07-1904 minWXPR Wildlife MattersEmerging Bird Disease Poses Threat to Wisconsin BirdsOne of the benefits of having experts like the Masked Biologist as a WXPR contributor is that you get the latest breaking wildlife news, good or bad. Unfortunately, this week’s Wildlife Matters has some bad news, and the Masked Biologist is asking you to keep your eyes open for birds with their eyes pasted shut. Passion for natural resources can be an emotional roller coaster. You can get some good news one day, bad news the next. Lately, it seems more bad news than good, seeming to last longer.

My father, in addition to working a couple of jobs, had a vehicle repair business. If I wanted to spend time with him, I had to be out in the shop evenings and weekends. His interest became mine.

The eastern hognose is one such snake and has slithered onto center stage in this week’s Wildlife Matters. Last month I came across an article about eastern hognose snakes that immediately captured my interest. Snakes tend to cause concern and fear in many people, and understandably so. Their appearance, movements, and behavior are entirely different from ours, and from many of the birds and mammals average people enjoy. Eastern hognose snakes will never win any popularity contests, or beauty co...2021-06-2104 minEmployedForest County Drone Company Agrees to Military Deal, Takes Part in Disaster SimulationBlades of helicopters slice incessantly through the western Wisconsin sky.2021-06-1705 minEmployedSurging Demand is Forcing Weinbrenner Shoes to Turn Away Customers, So It’s ExpandingFull hides of brown and black leather are draped over a cart and wheeled by a worker from place to place in the maze-like Weinbrenner Shoe Company factory in Merrill.2021-06-1005 minWXPR Wildlife MattersHow to Engage with Bears: Lessons from a Viral Bear-Shoving VideoIn this episode of Wildlife Matters, the Masked Biologist looks at a news story from the west coast that involved bears, dogs, people, and at least one bad decision.

Sandhill cranes are currently a nongame species, but could that change? Generally speaking, sandhill cranes are a familiar sight—and sound—in much of Wisconsin. They are less concentrated in the Northwoods, but you can find them in rural areas as well as locations like Woodboro Lakes, Thunder Marsh, Powell Marsh, and many shallow wetlands and wild rice beds. You can usually see them in larger groups in the early spring and again in fall, while in the process of migrating.

The Masked Biologist wants to help you get to know the porcupine and maybe share some tips or tricks to reduce porcupine damage in this week’s Wildlife Matters. On a recent family outing, we noticed that wildlife is on the move taking advantage of what’s shaped up to be an early spring.

As usual, the Masked Biologist has much to say on the topic in this week’s Wildlife Matters. Spring is a tricky season, no two ways about it. There is so much riding on the arrival of spring, and springtime conditions. Animal migration, emergence from winter dens, plants leaving dormancy all heavily impact the Northwoods.

Some are more obvious than others. What about turtles? The Masked Biologist gives us a glimpse into their lives in this week’s Wildlife Matters. Recently a large snapping turtle garnered some attention on social media by doing what turtles do—swimming around slowly under water. What was a little unusual, at least for the photographer, is that the turtle swam right under where they were standing—there were a couple of inches of clear ice between them.

The Masked Biologist says “yes and no” in this week’s Curious North-inspired edition of Wildlife Matters. Recently, listener Bill Boldon went onto Curious North at WXPR and asked the question: Is the extended cold period long enough to help kill invasive species? Well, it depends. Like my dad used to say, “yes with an if or no with a but.” Invasive species are extremely adaptable by nature.

Do you know what poison does to dogs and other animals? What can you do to protect your dogs? Is there any way you can help? The Masked Biologist tries to help with answers in this week’s Wildlife Matters. In general, there are a couple of factors to keep in mind when killing an animal. First, the method of kill needs to minimize physical pain and suffering. Slitting an animal’s throat might be effective, but it takes a while to bleed out...2021-02-0104 minWXPR Wildlife MattersWhen is Wisconsin's Wolf Hunt?The gray wolf has been on and off the federal endangered species list for years. Right now, it’s off the list. But designation on the endangered species list can be politized, and politics have shifted. The Masked Biologist has more about what’s happening with this year’s wolf hunt. Last week was a crazy week. There was a lot going on, and everything felt rushed. In Washington DC, President Trump rushed to finish some things before he left office, and the same day, President Biden rushed to undo many of the things that his predecessor had done, or left u...2021-01-2505 minWXPR Wildlife MattersCemetery ConcernsHave you thought about your funeral plans and their impact on the environment? It is not a pleasant topic, but it is one the Masked Biologist thinks deserves some extra thought, as he shares in this week’s Wildlife Matters. There were times in my life when I would worry, I suppose somewhat oddly, about where everyone is supposed to be buried. I even remember thinking at one point, “Where does it end? How much land can we afford to make into cemeteries?” Everything else seems like it can change—forest to grassland, grassland to cropland, farm buildings to forest, but ceme...2021-01-1805 minWXPR Wildlife MattersGetting Involved in Wisconsin's Elk Management PlanDo you have a role to play in the management of Wisconsin’s elk? In this week’s Wildlife Matters, the Masked Biologist makes the argument that you do, and gives us a quick peek at the state’s elk management plan. I spent some time this new year’s holiday trying to decide what to write about; as sometimes happens, in this case, an idea came to me from the headlines. The Wisconsin DNR has released its draft ten-year elk management plan. I thought I would take this opportunity to encourage you to get involved.

Valid questions, to be certain, and the Masked Biologist has a few answers for us. Recently I saw an article from Smithsonian Magazine about a wildlife overpass in Utah that is getting significant use from a variety of wildlife species much earlier than expected. This is cause for celebration for local wildlife and road authorities in Utah, for certain. It has gotten quite a bit of attention lately because this wildlife overpass has motion sensing cameras, usually called game cameras, trail cams or trap...2020-12-1405 minLive from the White PineArmchair Boogie- Live From the White PineArmchair Boogie stopped by the studios in January.
