Sage Raymond @raisedbyfieldguide.bsky.social · 18/09/2026New paper! We determined characteristics coyotes select at dens in a National Park.

Sage Raymond @raisedbyfieldguide.bsky.social · 08/04/2026First bear tracks of the spring! I’m not sure what this mother Grizzly Bear and her two yearling Cubs were eating in this still-snowy landscape, but they seemed to roll around in horse poop a lot. Good clean fun? 030
