Canada lynx caught on video at Vermont refuge

[sardog1]

"Video monitoring by refuge staff at the Silvio O. Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge captured footage of a Canada lynx on March 1 at the Nulhegan Basin Division in Brunswick, Vt. The camera was set up by refuge intern Andrew Butler as part of an ongoing monitoring effort, and has detected lynx on three separate occasions.

"This indicates that lynx – a federally threatened species – are breeding in northern Vermont!"

Soooooooo beautiful!!!! Thanks for sharing. Lynx need unmolested, quiet high-elevation forest to survive....along with pine martin, bicknell's thrush and others, lynx need the forested high-elevation ridges to remain forested and quiet to survive...every ridge we loose to wind power industiralization is another nail in their coffin
