Winter weasel watch
A determined ermine will never be bested by a mere red squirrel.
Timothy Sweet
My wife couldn't wait to tell me a week or so ago that an old friend had returned to our wetland woods. She was the one who spotted it in the yard the first time it showed up three years ago. I had just put one of the kids in the bathtub when she called me to come and look out the dining room window at an unusual white animal climbing the trunk of a cedar tree where we had hung out suet for the woodpeckers. I excitedly informed her that we had a weasel in out back yard. A second later, the doorbell rang. I opened the door, and before the Electrolux salesman could open his mouth and start his pitch, I grabbed him by the arm and pulled him into the house saying, "Hey, have you ever seen a weasel before? Neither have we. Come on in." I firmly believe that watching wildlife improves the quality of life. The stunned vacuum cleaner salesman seemed to agree. During winter, the ermine or short-tailed weasel (Mustela erminea) sheds its dark brown coat and replaces it with an all-white covering, except for a black tip on the tail and a hint of black on the nose. The sleek winter white coat is near-perfect camouflage for life in snow country. The ermine's cold-weather covering is valued highly by trappers, and the black-tipped tails have long been part of the traditional trim on garments worn by kings and queens. Male ermine are almost twice as large as females, varying in length from 7½ to 13½ inches. Featherweights of the mammal kingdom, the ermine weighs in at a slight 1 7/8 to 6 3/8 ounces.

Winter Weasels ( Mustelids)
The name may be unfamiliar, but the stench unmistakable. Mustelids are mammals found worldwide, and are recognized by the scent produced by their well-developed anal musk glands. Examples of Mustelids living locally include skunks and river otters. Musk glands work as defense mechanisms for these creatures. They spray to keep predators away. Similar to your household pets, Mustelids also use their scent to mark territory. The EcoTarium is home to two North American River Otters. An expanded habitat and exhibit for the otters are expected to open next May. Many wild skunks also live on EcoTarium property and all over New England. Because skunks are nocturnal animals, you might not even realize they're living on your property - unless a neighborhood pet is sprayed by one. One type of Mustelid has been described as fearless, cunning and agile. Each night, it eats one-third of its body weight. Sound something like a Wolverine? It's actually an Ermine. The Ermine has a second defense mechanism, as well. In addition to its foul scent, the Ermine molts, or sheds its hair, twice a year, changing its color in the process. In the spring, the Ermine sheds its winter coat and becomes mostly brown. In the autumn molt, the Ermine's coat turns white. Camouflaged in the New England environment, the Ermine is better able to hunt and escape its predators.

Weasel Family(Mustelids):
The weasel family in the Columbia Basin includes badger, wolverine, mink and river otter, marten, striped skunk, fisher, and, of course, weasel (long-tailed weasel and ermine) . Of these, only the badger has endangered (Red-listed) status. Fisher, the anguinae subspecies of ermine and wolverine are "vulnerable" (Blue-listed) in British Columbia.
Members of the weasel family are carnivores (both meanings: they in the order, Carnivora, and they are all meat-eaters), hunting a variety of prey appropriate to their size and habitat. For example, marten tend to specialize on squirrels and voles, fisher are porcupine specialists, wolverine will eat anything up to the size of a bull caribou, mink prey on fish and aquatic amphibians and mammals (especially muskrats, where present), and otter eat almost exclusively fish. Mustelids of one species or another are nearly ubiquitous in Columbia Basin. Some mustelids also eat a considerable amount of vegetable matter; for example, the marten diet includes berries.

Red Squirrel Full-colour illustration T he islands and flood-enriched shores of the Mackenzie, Liard, and Slave rivers are favourite habitats for many wildlife species, including Moose. In summer, Moose feed mostly on aquatic vegetation in shallow waters. In winter, they browse heavily on shoreline willows, leaving behind abundant signs in the snow in the form of tracks, trails, droppings, and shed antlers. Barren-ground Caribou from the Porcupine Herd overwinter in the northwest corner of this ecozone, while scattered groups of Woodland Caribou are found throughout the area during all seasons. Other common mammal species include Wolf, Red Fox, Snowshoe Hare, Lynx, Black Bear, Marten, Mink, Ermine, Wolverine, River Otter, Porcupine, Muskrat, Red Squirrel, Beaver, and Northern Red-backed Vole. Two thirds of the 3 000 Wood Bison in Canada range freely in the Mackenzie Bison Sanctuary along the eastern shore of Great Slave Lake. Common bird species that breed here during the brief spring and summer include the Red-throated Loon (in the northernmost part), Ring-necked Duck, Greater Scaup, Canvasback, Sharp-tailed Grouse, Hawk Owl, Northern Shrike, and Fox Sparrow. During this time of year, fish-eating raptors such as the Bald Eagle, Peregrine Falcon, and Osprey are familiar sights as they soar above the shorelines. Hundreds of thousands of Ducks, Geese, and Swans use the region's many lakes, rivers, and wetlands as staging or nesting areas. The Mackenzie Valley forms one of North America's better-travelled migratory corridors for waterfowl breeding along the arctic coast. Year-round bird species adapted to long, cold winters include the Common Raven, Sharp-tailed Grouse, Gray Jay, Common Redpoll, and Willow Ptarmigan. High insect populations make the ecozone a welcome breeding habitat for insect-eating forest birds and other insect eaters.

Red-throated Loon Full-colour illustration T he extreme cold, harsh soils, and limited plant communities of the Northern Arctic are reflected in the relatively low diversity and abundance of mammals. Of the approximately 200 species of mammals found in Canada, fewer than 20 occur in the ecozone. There are few insect species and a total absence of reptiles and amphibians. This land at first may appear to be empty of life, particularly in winter. But three large mammals the Muskox, Caribou, and Polar Bear are very much at home here throughout the year. Muskoxen are found across much of the Northwest Territories portion of the area. They roam the plains and plateaus in small bands or individually during the summer, and in larger family groups in the fall and winter. Peary Caribou, found only on the high arctic islands, are smaller and more pale than the Barren-ground Caribou which inhabit the mainland of the Northwest Territories, Baffin Island, Quebec, and Labrador. Although they lack the spectacular mass migrations of many Barren-ground Caribou herds, most Peary Caribou make seasonal movements of up to several hundred kilometres between arctic islands. Polar Bears also range widely as they journey along coastal areas or follow the sea ice in search of seals.

Weasels
By Chuck Fergus
Weasels are mammals belonging to the family Mustelidae . The mustelids, which are characterized by strong musk, vary in size, color, behavior and habitat. They are found worldwide, except for Antarctica and most oceanic islands. Other Pennsylvania mustelids are the fisher, striped skunk, mink and otter. Ferrets, badgers and wolverines also belong to the family. Three weasel species occur in Pennsylvania: the ermine ( Mustela errninea ), also called the short-tailed weasel, Bonaparte's weasel, and stoat; the long-tailed weasel ( M. frenata ), also known as the New York weasel; and the least weasel (M. nivalis ), or mouse weasel. Ranges of the three species overlap in Pennsylvania, the Great Lakes states and parts of Canada. In Pennsylvania, the ermine is found mostly in the northern and eastern parts, the long-tailed is common throughout the state, and the least is found in greatest numbers in the southcentral and northwest. Weasels have long, slim bodies. Their short legs have five small-clawed toes on each foot. Their necks are long, their heads small and triangular; eyes are small in relation to head size, and the ears, set low on the skull, are rounded and well-furred. Weasels travel with a loping gait, stopping occasionally to sit on their haunches or stand on their back legs to look around. Weasels are consummate predators. Their senses of sight, smell and hearing are acute, their hunting instinct is keen, and they are active, aggressive and quick. They kill and consume a wide variety of prey, including animals larger than themselves. Small rodents form the bulk of most weasels' diets. Although mainly nocturnal, weasels may hunt during the day.

Afognak Island Alaska Wildlife Viewing
About The Kodiak Islands Wildlife
Multiple boats and guides provide yet another choice... outstanding almost mosquitoless wildlife viewing. Awaiting you is a wide array of wildlife including the popular Kodiak Brown Bear, assorted sea mammals, soaring bald eagles and comical puffins. Guests have often included international filming crews who capture the unique combination of wildlife this area offers. Some veteran travelers consider Denali Park to be their best time investment for interior wildlife and Afognak Island's north end as their best time investment for marine wildlife, due to the variety and abundance available. The new Afognak Island State Park has been established to preserve this delightful combination in its stunningly beautiful "enchanted" forest and fjord setting.
Sea Mammals Wildlife
Sea Lions Within a half hour boat trip from the lodge, there's an island with several hundred sea lion that put on quite a good show, both on their island and in the water, surrounding our boats. It is pretty thrilling as they roar their hearts out... be sure to have plenty of film so you can share your memories when you return home! Seal Sea Otter Until 1911, the Russians heavily hunted these friendly mammals that are considered to have the most valuable pelts in the world. Their population has nicely recovered from near extinction to multiple thousands and, from our dining room and your guest cabin, some of them are in full view as they crack clam shells open with a rock on their chests.

Homepage photo by: Gita Laidler Rankin Inlet, March 2001 The area we covered within the Lord Lindsay watershed abounded with wildlife. It was amazing to be followed by curious caribou or to have ground squirrels come up and sniff your shoelaces. We were fortunate to witness a great diversity of animal life during our stay - below you will find some of the most common examples. Caribou Muskox Ground Squirrel Snow Goose ... Ermine Young caribou were often the most curious and adventurous, allowing the most promising oppoturinities of close-up photos. Tending to travel in small groups, the caribou were quite common around camp as we seemed to be in prime grazing area. During our time in the field we watched the caribou turn form almost completely white to what we think of as their characteristic brown tone coat. We saw only a few caribou with massive antlers, but these bleached white antlers are evidence of the majesty of the antlers. [top] The main way we would usually spot muskoxen is as solid black running animals as dots in the distance. They were very wary of our presence and we stayed out of their way as best as possible. Andrew was lucky enough to get a neat closeup view of a muskox near camp one day. There are majestic and beautiful animals.

http://www.wildlifeart.org/Education/WIW/Teach_Material.cfm
Winter Ecology Concepts
Strategies for Winter Survival
WHAT CHALLENGES DOES WINTER BRING?
In mountainous regions, winter is characterized by snow, wind, cold, difficult travel, lack of shelter, and scarcity of food and water. Take a moment to think about how people respond to cold and snow. Do they head south for the season? Hole up inside? Consume foods higher in fat? Animals respond similarly to the challenges of winter.
HOW DOES WILDLIFE RESPOND?
During the harsh winter months, animals respond in a variety of ways to minimize energy and heat loss. Much of this energy loss results from a scarcity of food or the low nutritional value of available food. The amount of energy consumed by an animal should equal the amount of energy it expends in keeping warm, obtaining food, and avoiding predators. To keep this equation in balance, animals may adapt, hibernate or migrate in order to become more resistant to winter conditions.
WHAT IS ADAPTATION?
While some animals migrate or hibernate, others adapt in order to resist the stresses of their surroundings. Animals may minimize the threat of winter through an interesting variety of physiological and behavioral adjustments or changes. Physiological adaptations aid mammals in dodging predators, moving with agility, obtaining food, and keeping warm. The snowshoe hare and the ermine change fur color from brown to white, better camouflaging themselves against predators in a snow-covered landscape. The large feet of the snowshoe hare and the lynx allow them to "float" on top of snow, as if wearing snowshoes. The large skull of the bison enables it to plow the snow aside when feeding.

ADA Recreation
Winter Wildlife
Washington wildlife adds significantly to the thrill of winter recreation. Winter sports lead to remote areas, where sportsmen are often gifted with prime views of seldom-seen birds and animals. Unfortunately, sports enthusiasts can harm or even kill the animals they observe, simply by their interest. Coming closer to an animal to see it better usually causes an animal to run. This, in turn, uses up valuable energy and fat in the season when food is scarce and the animal needs to rest to survive. Fat is needed for metabolic fuel and to sustain body temperature in extreme cold. Unnecessary movement caused by escape from a predator in wintertime, or the fear generated by a human disturbance, speeds the loss of fat reserves and decreases the chances of an animal's survival.
Remember:
  • Be sensitive to the needs of animals. Stop and go around them or wait for them to move. Avoid close contact with wildlife. Minimize noise. Help animals conserve their food supply. Avoid damaging brush, trees and grass. Little nutritional food is available in the dormancy of winter.

About Us
What to Bring
Wildlife Viewing
Adventures ... Fishing
One Eye Outfit's guided tours of the Charlotte Alplands take you into pristine alpine wilderness, where the wildlife viewing opportunity is exceptional. Our experienced guides are extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife here and their mountain habitat. They have a pretty good idea where the moose are, where you might see the mountain caribou herd, where you can spot a grizzly up on the slides in spring, and where the mountain goats are at any particular time of the year. Moose, black bears, and black tailed deer are mostly likely to be seen on the traditional pack trips and the Charlotte Lake-Atnarko River trips . The mountain caribou travel extensively, so they are likely to be seen on any of our adventure trips. We also will see mule deer at almost any elevation in the area. Mountain goats are specific to the alpine areas, and the traditional pack trips and the fly-in alpine tour are most likely to produce sightings this year. Marmots and pikas, the alpine clowns, provide lots of opportunity for great photos, and you will see bald eagles, maybe a peregrine falcon, Canada jays, Clarks nutcrackers and other northern birds. It's so quiet and serene up there that our presence is a big event for all of the wildlife, and they are often as curious as we are. There are also wolves, coyotes, foxes, cougar, wolverine, marten, fisher, beaver, ermine and Canada lynx.
