Tony Shares Some Animal Fun with ENN Readers...

Photos by Tony Sirgedas

April 8, 2005: Tony Sirgedas and his trusty camera captured the following charming animal behavior. Tony says, "Thursday, March 30, Mount Rainier peeked out from the rain clouds after sunset as the local herd of elk was out in the field in front of Dogwood Park."

What Happened Next...

Tony adds, "The elk then jumped the fence and started running around with the cows and horses in the field."

Trek Grizzly Looking Deceptively Cute...

February 28, 2004

Photographer par excellence Tony Sirgedas explains the grizzly bear photos he took Friday, February 27, "Stopped by Northwest Trek this morning on my way home, got there before all the school kids did so it was still peaceful. The grizzlies were quite active, this one uses one of the trees as a scratching post ... as hard as he was working at it, it must have been some itch!"
Grizzly bears were once native to Africa, Europe and North America and are extinct in some areas. Grizzlies weigh from 300 to 1,500 pounds, are omnivorous, meaning they eat just about anything, they can run up to 35 miles per hour and come in a variety of colors from blond, brown, black or a combination of these colors. The last grizzly in the state of Utah was killed in 1923. For more information about grizzlies in the "lower 48" and North Cascades please see The American Grizzly Bear

These mature bald eagles are wild and don't live at Northwest Trek. Trek eagles are birds that have been injured. The birds pictured are free as the wind. Tony was in the right place at the right time to capture the images of these magnificent, elegant birds of prey. He says, "The eagles were in a tree in the logged-off area along Eatonville Highway, just west of town overlooking the Ohop Valley." He took these photos on a beautiful February day masquerading as spring.

Rather, the safety will have destroyed the wilderness." ~R. Yorke Edwards "Alive, the grizzly is a symbol of freedom and understanding - a sign that man can learn to conserve what is left of the earth. Extinct, it will be another fading testimony to things man should have learned more about but was too preoccupied with himself to notice. In its beleaguered condition, it is above all a symbol of what man is doing to the entire planet. If we can learn from these experiences, and learn rationally, both grizzly and man may have a chance to survive." ~Frank Craighead
