What's Wild
 Wolverine by Daniel Brachlow
WOLVERINE GETS CHEEKY ON CAMERA
High altitudes. Lots of trees. Deep snow. Frozen animal carcasses. No people. These are a few of a wolverine’s favorite things. And for one particular wolverine in Wyoming, being on camera rounds out the list.
It’s wolverine season, and we’re working with partners to survey for wolverines high in the Wind River mountains of Wyoming. Last year, one wolverine in particular put on a show for our trail camera. Watch the videos and read the story in our Open Spaces blog.
Spring in Your Step
 NATURE'S CALENDAR
Signs of spring vary depending where you live - a buzzing bee, flowers peaking through the dirt, a chorus of frogs. The timing of these natural events also vary by region. Scientists track the timing to detect long-term trends and impacts in a study called phenology - nature's calendar. National wildlife refuges are bumping up their data collection and inviting citizens to help on the USFWS Phenology Network, a joint project of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the USA National Phenology Network. Explore what some national wildlife refuges are gathering data about here.
