Snake River Idaho
Article Abstract:
The Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area of southwestern Idaho has huge groups of nesting pairs of falcons, eagles, hawks and owls, representing 15 species. It has the densest concentration of raptors in North America, perhaps in the world, and is worth protecting. It is made up of half a million acres of sagebrush and grassland. Best viewing times are mid-March through June, but April is quieter since most birds are on nests. A visitors center at Kuna is the place from which to take the 56-mile loop tour, and guided bus tours are offered.

Searching for sea pandas
Article Abstract:
Killer whale watching on a boat off Vancouver Island, British Columbia, is described. The killer whale is about 30 feet long, is classified as a dolphin and can live to be 80 years of age. Many killer whales frequent the waters off British Columbia, especially in the Johnstone Strait. Killer whales sometimes exhibit strange behaviors, such as their practice of wallowing in shallow water so they can rub their skin on gravel.
