He found a single image of a mountain lion walking 29-31, 33, 36-37, 40, 43 away, down the trail, the characteristic long tail prominently displayed. Kansas Depart- ment of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT) staff visited the site last week and veri- fied the photo’s authenticity. This is the tenth mountain lion verified by KDWPT since Outdoor Recreation 2007, but the first in almost two years. Pages 3, 20, 39-41 The first confirmed mountain lion in 2007 was killed by an individual in Barber County. Since then, most of the sightings have been confirmed with photographs taken by remote, motion-triggered cameras commonly used by deer hunters to keep track of KIDS' WILD FRIENDS deer movement near their stands. Pages 15, 18, 21, 26, 32, 41-41 In each instance, KDWPT staff traveled to the sites where photos were taken to vali- date the photographs. Staff investigates sightings whenever evidence, such as tracks, a cached kill or a photograph exists. Biologists assume most sightings are of transient Go to our Web site, young males, coming from established populations in nearby states. www.kswildlife.org, “It’s not uncommon for young males to travel great distances looking for home for additional KWF information ranges,” said Matt Peek, KDWPT furbearer biologist. “So far, these animals appear to be passing through, rather than staying and establishing home ranges in Kansas.” Protecting the Land...

    BULLETIN PUBLISHED QUARTERLY Vol. 49 March, 1998 No. 1 THE WINTER BIRD COUNT FOR 1998 Max C. Thompson and Eugene A. Young The 50 Christmas Bird Counts (CBC's) conducted during 1997 is above the aver- age of 47 for the 90's. One count was thrown out for not conforming to guidelines and seved were not conducted because of bad weather in western Kansas during the CBC count period. Overall weather conditions varied greatly across the state, although it was genedly wet and mild in the east and cold and snowy in the west (Cimarron National Grasslands, Meade, and Old Garfield all had over 6 inches of snow on the ground). Of the 50 CBC's, 16 (32%) reported less than favorable survey conditions. Counts covered most of the physiographic and geographical regions of the state with the exception of the northwestern comer, which got minimal coverage and the southwestern, centd and northeastern regions of the state had the most compre- hensive coverage. The Halstead/Newton Count was their 49th annual CBC. There were 626 participants on CBC's this year. This was the fourth time in five years that the total number of participants exceeded 600. There has been an average of 599 observers per year for the 90's. Of the 3,380,542 total birds observed this year 60.2% (2,033,586) were Red- winged Blackbirds. The Slate Creek Wetlands/Oxford count had 93.5% of the red- wings with 1,901,305 observed. The next four most abundant species were all waterfowl: Canada Goose (471,185 individuals); Snow Goose (both forms combined 152,427); Mallard (115,774); and Greater White-fronted Goose (97.736).
