Stating that a wolf in Alaska is inquisitive and unafraid of humans is true but irrelevant in the present conversation.
When considering the known interaction levels of those wolves, we see that they commonly adopt an approach not dissimilar to coyotes; they do not consider humans to be prey, but do recognize their potential as a predator. They remain curious but cautious. They will not attack unless provoked, and will often remain just at tree lines, showing themselves while maintaining the opportunity to slip back into the forest.
And when food is scarce, especially in times of drought or deep winter, they will approach areas with humans in search of food. With that said, their history with humans has understandably left them more skittish and less interested in our company than their Alaskan relatives. Are they here? Yes, we already know this. Are they thriving? Probably not. The 3 mentioned above were all killed by hunters aiming to find coyotes, which are legally hunted in the areas where these wolves would be attempting to reestablish populations.
And in New York in particular, we have hunted the large prey these animals require to get through long winters to near extinction, much like the wolves themselves. In those months, kills are scarce, even smaller prey such as beavers and hare are hard to come by.
These predators used to rely on the occasional large game to sustain long periods without food. But these days, spotting a wolf in New York is more likely than spotting the elk, moose or caribou they would need to survive a long winter, all of which thrive north of the Canadian border. Elk are thought to be extinct here, rarely seen outside of Pennsylvania, which has successfully reintroduced them. A tiny population of moose exists in the Adirondacks, as do white-tailed deer, but both are susceptible to deer-borne illnesses, wasting disease and ticks, in addition to over-hunting, all of which have left them few and far between.
The irony here is that the wolves helped keep these same diseases in check, which now instead spread freely amongst the remaining populations.
For these reasons, it becomes MORE likely that any wolves spotted in New York State would NOT be in their usual large packs, instead struggling to regain a territory that no longer resembles the home their ancestors once knew.
Litters would be smaller than average, with pups significantly less likely to survive their first winter than packs north of the border. Consider yourself lucky, snap a picture if you can, and hope that one day they return to the numbers they once were. Our state and its wildlife will be significantly healthier if they do. These are two of the photos we took in in the same area.

However, if you would consider someone outside your area, please consider my architect in the Washington DC area -- Morris Architects Paula and Bill.
They are in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and not the firm with the same name in Bethesda, Maryland. Paula and Bill are willing to accept projects in New York, where Bill has roots and experience requesting permission to design out of state -- and further north where they travel to visit family. I learned this in asking Paula to help our family with a recent relocation to Long Island. The Morris Architects portfolio is not limited to residential but in residential, their recent commissions range across the historical spectrum, from 18th c farmhouse to 21st century contemporaries.
Paula is also being asked to work with clients on their interior spaces. No budget is too small, no budget too large. My projects are mere interior renovations, but if I were to build an entire home, I would look no further. I am confident that you would be pleased with this firm as an affordable option. We would love to hear what our friends in eastern NY state and Northwest Connecticut are dreaming of for design projects given that so many of us are blanketed in snow and frigid cold.
Like Home Interiors by Shawn, I have friends in Mexico who would be insulted if anyone brought something to their parties - it indicates that you think the host is incapable of providing everything for their guests. I hope no one would bring me flowers, as I am allergic to many of them and would have to put them outside. However, I like it when guests bring wine, especially if it is something that they want to drink at the party and share.
I certainly do not expect it and am not disappointed if no one brings anything. They also had better not bring their dog. There are people that I have purposely not invited to parties because I know that they take their dogs with them everywhere.
Hello D Shula, I still do not think this situation can move forward until it is finalized whether there is an objective issue with the tile manufacturing, the tile installation, both, or neither.
I do not think the current combination of claiming the apparent zipper effect and that the tile installer should have called you when noticing it are enough to package together with a level of specificity and substance to strongly argue that the manufacturer, seller, or the installer is responsible.
Without objective conclusions about the product and the installation, I think it will be difficult or impossible to move this situation out of its currently stalled position. While you were in the general oversight role, that is less relevant if the product or installation did not objectively meet specs.
The manufacturer, seller, and installer are not going to give you that so I think you need to get third-party expert opinions. On one end of the spectrum of outcomes, the product and installation met criteria and it is simply regrettable you were not present to see and stop the process based on your subjective preferences. On the opposite end of the spectrum, there are objective issues with the both the product and the installation. At this point, it is unclear where you are on the spectrum so I think you need more objective information to back up your position.
Good luck! Hank 10 years ago. Like 1 Save. I hope it works Here is a link that might be useful: wolves in Ny. The animal ran across the road from north to the south into a wooded area.

They are coywolves. They are a hybrid. Kodi Sayers 5 years ago. Jessica Morris-Klossner 4 years ago. Grace Amazing 4 years ago.
He was a farmer if Mt. Lion was going after livestock he had no choice. Just saw a wolf today on 87 near warrensburg. Debbie Harris last year. HU 11 months ago.
HU 27 days ago. The Maine Wolf Coalition documented this animal this summer in northern Maine. HU 18 days ago. Scientists have found that it would require removing nearly 70 percent of the population every year to achieve sustained population reduction. Early studies, which used skull measurements to identify species, suggested that most of these animals were mostly coyote. These studies also showed that some interbreeding with wolves may have occurred.
Recent studies using DNA analyses clearly show that hybridization with wolves has occurred, most probably in southern Canada where populations of wolves and coyotes adjoin each other. Hybridization has similarly occurred between coyotes and red wolves in our southern states, but has not been reported for coyotes and the larger subspecies of gray wolves in the northwestern states, northern Canada or Alaska. The degree of hybridization varies among individual coyotes in New York and adjacent New England states.
Although specimens of coy dogs were identified during the early years of coyote colonization, recent DNA analyses show no evidence of dog genetic material persisting in our coyote population. Coyotes gradually extended their range eastward after wolves became extinct in the eastern U.
Coyotes first appeared in the early s in western Ontario, in the s in New York and progressively later across New England until their appearance in New Brunswick in Young coyotes may disperse more than miles from their birth place. This tendency to disperse is the way they have expanded their range and filled in voids within occupied range.
Their numbers have been estimated at between 20, and 30, Coyotes are abundant throughout New York state. As with most wildlife populations, numbers will fluctuate over time as food, weather and disease conditions change. Almost anything! Coyotes are opportunistic and eat what is most available at a given time or place within their range of tastes and can change over time. Coyote diets in the Adirondacks in the s were dominated by snowshoe hares and a variety of smaller animals; they also included significant amounts of insects and berries in late summer and early fall.
Diets in the s in central New York included only a small percent of deer and were dominated by rabbits, woodchucks, small mammals and fruit. In the s, wolves were abundant within the Blue Line, but deforestation and unregulated hunting wiped the species out. Until recently, it was thought that the last wolf in the Adirondacks was shot in the late s, but a study brought to light the fact that a wolf was killed north of Great Sacandaga Lake in and two others were bagged from Vermont's Northeast Kingdom in and This suggests one of two things: either wolves that were raised in captivity found a way to escape or wild wolves are beginning to re-populate the area they once called home.
After examining the carcasses of the wolves, scientists were able to determine that all three were indeed wild, but were unable to identify where they originated.
If the wolves came from the upper Great Lakes or Ontario's Algonquin Park, scientists believe it is likely that others will follow in their footsteps, and the species could begin naturally increasing its numbers in the region. Rather than the soul-haunting, drawn-out sound of a wolf's howl, a coyote's howl is characterized by high-pitched barks and yips, with each song consisting of a lot of lyrics. When coyotes howl, they sound like a bigger pack than they really are. There's a coyote in Central Park.
Richard Simon, director of the wildlife unit at the city's Department of Parks and Recreation, said officials had recently received several reports of a coyote in Central Park.
Those reports prompted the warnings from the police. Top 5 States for Coyote Hunting Nevada. Nevada is ridiculous when it comes to coyote hunting. Kansas is also hard to beat for coyotes. Much of what makes Kansas a good coyote state applies to Nebraska as well, but the western part of the state beats western Kansas in coyote habitat. According to some reports, coydogs can be more dangerous than coyotes because they aren't afraid of people, but still have a predator instinct.
He's dangerous. Eastern cougars mountain lions do not have a native, self sustaining population in New York State. They have been absent from this state since the late s; however, there have been a few isolated sightings.
Each sighting involved cougars that are not native to New York. Both the red wolf and the gray wolf are protected by the Endangered Species Act.
In the state Northeast Region, we have potential wolf habitat across northern New England and upstate New York , but we have no confirmed wild wolves living here. While experts have given different numbers on the size of coywolves , they're considered typically larger than average coyotes.
New York State is home to the bobcat, a wild cat species seen throughout upstate New York. Historically, the Empire State was also the native range of two more wild cat species, the Canada lynx and eastern cougar.
