WILD HORSES AND BURROS

"Volunteers and their horses get together for playday" (News.byes Extra)
Some BLM Wild Horse and Burro Program volunteers in California’s north
central valley got together for a playday at the Running I Ranch in
Dunnigan last weekend. The Ranch offers trail obstacles and
opportunities for desensitizing horses to various situations. For the
volunteers, it was a day of fun, training, and camaraderie with their
horses and other adopters. For the horses, it was a day of
socialization and learning.

"Teen tames wild mustangs, then reluctantly sells them" (Napa Valley
Register, 7/3/12)
"Willow Newcomb’s only mistake at the Extreme Mustang Makeover may
have been to not predict her own success. After showing off the skills
she had taught a pair of once-wild horses over 90 days, the
Coombsville teenager was shocked to hear the name of one, Bella Rose,
among the Mustang Makeover’s top 10 finishers on Saturday. Having made
the trip to Albany, Ore. to learn rather than win, Newcomb and the
mustang she affectionately calls Rosy suddenly found themselves in a
freestyle competition for which they had barely practiced...."

WILDFIRES AND PREVENTION

"Predicted rain could douse some wildfires in West"(Associated Press
in San Francisco Chronicle, 7/4/12)
"Firefighters battling enormous wildfires up and down the Rocky
Mountain region were hopeful that predicted severe thunderstorms might
drop buckets of rain and help their hard work of scraping lines of
defense across rugged landscapes." But storms without much rain "could
make their work tougher, not easier," by bringing high winds and
lightning strikes.

"Long, hot summer: Wildfires thrive on drought, heat and wind" (L.A.
Times, 7/2/12)
"After several years of relatively benign fire seasons, the West is

ones that have scorched Colorado in recent weeks. The wildfires that
have already destroyed more than 700 homes and outbuildings along
Colorado's Front Range and blackened hundreds of thousands of acres of
New Mexico wilderness are not likely to be the season's last for one
simple reason: drought."

AMERICA'S GREAT OUTDOORS

"Great American Backyard Campout comes to El Mirage" (News.bytes Extra)
For the second year, the BLM and Friends of El Mirage hosted the Great
American Backyard Campout under the brilliant, starry skies of the El
Mirage Dry Lake Off-Highway Vehicle Area. Led by Park Ranger Dani
Haskell, 35 kids were caught up in the contagious enthusiasm of Dani
and her crew of BLM employees and volunteers. As the kids stepped out
of their vans, their eyes became wide with wonder -- and a touch of
fear -- at the wide expanse of desert that lay before them....

NOT for EDUCATORS ONLY:
banded rock lizard
WILDLIFE TRIVIA QUESTION of the WEEK:

(a.) Few animals can see them.
(b.) Few animals tolerate the same terrain.
(c.) Few animals can stand the strong odor they emit for protection.
(d.) They are hard as a rock, and about as tasty.
(e.) They are 40 feet tall and have extremely foul halitosis.

RENEWABLE ENERGY

"BLM releases draft environmental review for proposed Alta East Wind
Project in Kern County" (BLM, 6/29/12)
Alta Windpower Development, LLC, has requested a right-of-way
authorization to construct the Alta East Wind Project in southeastern
Kern County, about three miles northwest of the Town of Mojave. The
project would include wind turbines, access roads, and energy
collection lines on a 2,592-acre site, of which 568 acres are private
land that is under the jurisdiction of Kern County. The BLM has
released a draft environmental review for the project. Since
originally proposed, the total acreage was reduced from 3,200 to 2,592
acres.

overall reliability of the system to deliver electricity to customers

facilities slated to come online in the near future, the plant has
also been touted as a backup power source for when the wind doesn’t
blow or the sun doesn’t shine."

reducing grazing to allow the land to recuperate. Now they wonder
whether they'll be able to regain at least some rights to more grazing
in return." They cite benefits of grazing.

Brown widow spiders were first found in California in 2003, but
researchers found "20 times" as many brown widows as black widows
around Southern California homes. "That’s because unlike black widows,
who like to crawl into cracks and under debris for shelter, brown
widows like to hide out in people’s things. Some of their favorite
places: recessed handles on garbage cans, underneath plastic
playground equipment -- and “cheap patio furniture is great stuff.
They love it,” said one researcher," who has upturned a single molded
plastic chair and seen five to eight brown widows hanging out in the
niches underneath."

have been identified in the San Francisco Bay Area. He has, however,
received three positive samples from the Sacramento area and one from
Redding." Brown widow spider bites are less toxic than those of the
black widow - but the brown widow is found in more spots that people
touch. Its effect on its ecosystem is also unknown."
