Follow the Pack Update January 4

Follow the Pack will be in the field in the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area for a few days. We’ll be looking for Mexican wolf tracks and scat, listening for wolf howls, and watching carefully for the wolves themselves. If we’re very, very lucky, we may catch a glimpse of a lobo in its thick, winter coat.

Because many roads may be covered in deep snow, we can’t be sure which wolf territories we’ll be able to visit. We hope to check on at least one pack in Arizona and one in New Mexico. We’ll let you know what we find after we return. We may not find anything. Mexican wolves are usually very shy and difficult to see.
