Utria National Park is a 54,300-hectare (210-square-mile) protected area located in the northwest of the wild Pacific coast.The Colombian Pacific  (Chocó) region, is one of the few remaining vast regions with no road infrastructure and large untouched jungle stretches. It is isolated from the rest of the country by impassable mountains with steep, muddy slopes covered in dense vegetation. The region also receives the most rainfall on the world.

Frogs in the first weeks of activity of the year. It was the warmest night so far, unusually high and although I went to the lake's edge, they were so loud that they could be heard from a long distance. This is also a place to see and hear herons and sometime storks, but this night it was all for the frogs.
I was testing out a Zoom F3 for the second time.

Frogs in the Countryside

A lone Grey Wolf howls in the late morning, losing itself to the natural reverb of a glacial valley

Grey Wolves were all but extirpated from Washington early in the last century. They've been on a slow but steady recovery now for decades. While still a species of high concern in the Northwest, occasions of hearing their mournful cries are thankfully becoming more and more common.

This is not without controversy, unfortunately, as ranchers fear their livelihoods will be destroyed and hunters express concern over the competition for game animals. My general feeling is this is good, however. The mass numbers of humanity living in former wolf territory and the introduction of highly destructive and invasive farm and game animals such as cattle, pigs, chickens, bullfrogs, pheasant, etc, have had long-lasting, oft-permanent destructive consequences on our ecological systems. That wolves are able to reclaim some territory on their own despite the historical effort to eliminate them is a testimony to their tenacity as a species.

The challenges are great, though, and humanity does not make it easy for other apex predators to survive in a world we claim as our own to despoil at will. Wolves need help all around North America. To help recovery efforts and the benefits they can provide, consider supporting a conservation effort such as The International Wolf Center https://wolf.org or a sanctuary and rehabilitation center such as Wolf Haven International https://wolfhaven.org.

Lone Wolf Howls

Coyotes and Wolves seemingly not wanting to be outdone, their howls drown in the lush reverberation of a deep basaltic-walled glacial valley.

Grey Wolves were all but extirpated from Washington early in the last century. They've been on a slow but steady recovery now for decades, assisted by a few relocated individuals from Canada. While still a species of high concern in the Northwest, occasions of hearing their cries are thankfully becoming more and more common.
