"Elk calls have regional dialects
Whales, bats and birds sound different depending on where they live. So do elk, according to new research."
"Pennsylvania’s elk herds were translocated from the West in the early 1900s, and today they have longer tonal whistles and quieter bugles than elk in Colorado. Meanwhile, bugles change frequency from low to high tones more sharply in Wyoming than they do in Pennsylvania or Colorado."

It's no secret that salmon are central to theh cultures of many Native nations in the Pacific Northwest, but outsiders don't really understand what that means. This piece by Native journalist 'Toastie' Oaster uses the words and photography of Yakama tribal member Lew George to open a little window on a life spent fishing for salmon on the Columbia River.

My hard copy of High Country News just dropped in my mailbox. I thumbed straight to the article on southern California's endemic black walnut trees. It hit home. I grew up in soCal in many ways. The trees grew on the hillsides where I roamed as a lad and on the hillsides that surrounded my college campus. I had a brief tryst with a Latina that lived in El Sereno, a single mom and me one quarter from graduating. It was good but not built to last. Long ago. hcn.org/issues/55.1/south-soci
