(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 11:30 a.m. Tuesday:\u003c/strong> An unusual December wildfire continues to burn in Big Sur today. The fire has destroyed 15 residences and forced the evacuation of about 100 people from remote homes in the Monterey County community. The 550-acre fire, burning west of Highway 1 near Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, is just 5 percent contained. The blaze has forced the closure of Clear Ridge, Pfeiffer Ridge and Sycamore Canyon roads. Here are more details from the Associated Press: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The fire in Los Padres National Forest near state Highway 1 grew by only 50 acres overnight to 550 acres, and was 5 percent contained, U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman Lynn Olson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additional firefighters were brought in, bringing the total force to about 400, she said. The fire was also being fought from the air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Big Sur, miles of rugged coast, cliffs and wilderness, is a popular tourist destination about 150 miles south of San Francisco with high-end resorts and beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire began around midnight Sunday, fueled by dry vegetation and fanned by winds. It was burning a little more than a mile from the Ventana Inn and Spa, a favorite spot among celebrities where former Facebook president and Napster co-founder Sean Parker got married in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among homes destroyed in the fire was that of Big Sur Fire Chief Martha Karstens, who was tearful on Monday night even as she said the loss of her home had not yet set in, according to the Monterey Herald.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm just trying to function as a chief,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other residents anxiously tried to get information about their homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jim Walters, who was up the coast in Carmel when the blaze started, told the Herald he went to the entrance to his street, local restaurants and the fire command station, but had no luck learning anything about his home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't know where else to go,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Red Cross set up an overnight shelter for displaced people, said Los Padres National Forest spokesman Andrew Madsen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A wildfire so late in the year is unusual in Northern California, where the fire season is generally at its peak over the summer. A lightning-sparked wildfire in the summer of 2008 forced the evacuation of Big Sur and blackened 250 square miles before it was contained. That blaze burned more than a dozen homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But like the rest of the state, the Big Sur area has received little rainfall this year, increasing the fire danger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, officials said they were hopeful they could contain the blaze this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're cautiously optimistic that we're going to pin this thing down within the next couple of days,\" Madsen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cause of the fire is under investigation.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 11:30 a.m. Tuesday:\u003c/strong> An unusual December wildfire continues to burn in Big Sur today. The fire has destroyed 15 residences and forced the evacuation of about 100 people from remote homes in the Monterey County community. The 550-acre fire, burning west of Highway 1 near Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, is just 5 percent contained. The blaze has forced the closure of Clear Ridge, Pfeiffer Ridge and Sycamore Canyon roads. Here are more details from the Associated Press: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The fire in Los Padres National Forest near state Highway 1 grew by only 50 acres overnight to 550 acres, and was 5 percent contained, U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman Lynn Olson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additional firefighters were brought in, bringing the total force to about 400, she said. The fire was also being fought from the air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Big Sur, miles of rugged coast, cliffs and wilderness, is a popular tourist destination about 150 miles south of San Francisco with high-end resorts and beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire began around midnight Sunday, fueled by dry vegetation and fanned by winds. It was burning a little more than a mile from the Ventana Inn and Spa, a favorite spot among celebrities where former Facebook president and Napster co-founder Sean Parker got married in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among homes destroyed in the fire was that of Big Sur Fire Chief Martha Karstens, who was tearful on Monday night even as she said the loss of her home had not yet set in, according to the Monterey Herald.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm just trying to function as a chief,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other residents anxiously tried to get information about their homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jim Walters, who was up the coast in Carmel when the blaze started, told the Herald he went to the entrance to his street, local restaurants and the fire command station, but had no luck learning anything about his home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't know where else to go,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Red Cross set up an overnight shelter for displaced people, said Los Padres National Forest spokesman Andrew Madsen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A wildfire so late in the year is unusual in Northern California, where the fire season is generally at its peak over the summer. A lightning-sparked wildfire in the summer of 2008 forced the evacuation of Big Sur and blackened 250 square miles before it was contained. That blaze burned more than a dozen homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But like the rest of the state, the Big Sur area has received little rainfall this year, increasing the fire danger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, officials said they were hopeful they could contain the blaze this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're cautiously optimistic that we're going to pin this thing down within the next couple of days,\" Madsen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cause of the fire is under investigation.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Auto Show\u003c/a>, running through Dec. 1 at the convention center, pointing out details and taking pictures. Others slid into shiny new models to check out the latest features.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the last few years, hybrids and plug-ins have been the stars here. This year, the buzzwords are “hydrogen fuel cell.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Toward the side of the Hyundai display was a white Tucson compact crossover SUV, unassuming and as quiet as the engine that’s in it: an electric engine run by hydrogen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike a traditional plug-ins, this one charges in less than 10 minutes and travels up to 300 miles per charge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Hyundai representative pointed out its virtues over the loudspeaker, “And the biggest news, Hyundai is the first company here in North America to offer a hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle that will be for sale, targeted this spring.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly a decade ago, then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger touted plans for a “hydrogen highway” in California, made up of dozens of hydrogen fueling stations linking the state. But the idea hit potholes and dead ends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, there are only about 10 public hydrogen stations in California, mostly in the L.A. area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The original ‘hydrogen highway’ under the Schwarzenegger era died because it was a joint public-private effort, but they really didn’t coordinate very well with the private companies, ” said John O’Dell, who covers green cars for the auto website \u003ca href=\"http://www.edmunds.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Edmunds.com\u003c/a>. “And you had fuel makers, like Shell and Exxon and others, say, ‘Well, why do we want to spend millions of dollars to put in fuel stations that are going to put us out of business some day?’ Plus, the economy collapsed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the hydrogen highway hit the skids. Consumers turned their attention to hybrids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, in September of this year, Gov. Jerry Brown \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_24294103/new-life-californias-struggling-hydrogen-highway-plan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">signed legislation to dedicate $20 million a year\u003c/a> for the next decade to build hydrogen fueling stations. The funding will build up to 100 stations, placed strategically in urban areas. The money comes from an extension of several existing fees on vehicle registration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hyundai North America’s Mike O’Brien said that’s one reason his company decided to roll out the first mass-produced hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle in the U.S. market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_119382\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 384px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/11/auto-show5-640.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-119382 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/11/auto-show5-640.jpg\" alt=\"The Hyundai Tucson hydrogen fuel-cell engine fits underneath the hood of the vehicle, much like a traditional gasoline-powered engine.

(Susan Valot/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“There’s a commitment now from the state of California to build infrastructure. There’s a renewed commitment with the federal government to invest in infrastructure,” O’Brien said. “So we’re seeing a change in terms of government seeding the market to help during what many consider this ‘black hole’ period, where there’s not enough fuel-cell vehicles to support the economics of an individual investor buying a fuel cell station or building one.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>O’Brien said it’s a delicate balance between producing hydrogen fuel-cell cars and creating the hydrogen infrastructure they’ll need, but he’s hopeful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If Henry Ford had stood in front of a large crowd of people in 1910 and said, ‘Gee, I don’t think there’s a future for gasoline vehicles because there aren’t that many stations around now,’ …the same facts in 1910 for gasoline exist today for hydrogen,” O’Brien pointed out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hyundai will roll out 1,000 hydrogen fuel-cell Tucsons initially, for both the U.S. and European markets. They’ll be built on the same assembly line as the company’s gasoline version of the Tucson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Toyota and Honda plan to roll out their first U.S. hydrogen models in the next couple of years. Other carmakers will follow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s all really about California’s goal of 80 percent greenhouse gas reduction by 2050. And when you just think about the simple technology appearance of it today, there’s no way to get 80 percent reduction with gasoline,” O’Brien said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, not every car company is putting its eggs in the hydrogen basket. Samantha Hoyt of Ford said her company will concentrate more on its plug-in electric vehicles and hybrids, for now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All those technologies are forthcoming,” Hoyt said, as she sat among Ford’s green offerings at the car show. “It won’t be long, and you will see hydrogen-cell vehicles in the market, but are they affordable to the average consumer?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hyundai says it initially plans to offer the vehicles on a $499 a month, 36-month lease with a $2,999 down payment. The payment includes hydrogen fuel, maintenance and service, but does not include a California rebate and federal tax breaks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Toyota’s offering is rumored to be about $50,000, unless the company opts to subsidize the car to get a better foothold in the market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Honda Fuel Cell Vehicle Sales and Marketing Manager Steve Ellis said California’s push to create hydrogen fueling stations is key.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California is really the crucible where all of this is being done and proven out and now, other regions of the U.S. won’t have to repeat those same mistakes,” Ellis said. “The mistakes of the chicken and egg, the mistakes of waiting until an automaker commits to a certain volume before they even start to fund the station.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edmunds.com green car expert John O’Dell said it will be a challenge to create a hydrogen-fueling infrastructure, but he said California does have one thing in its favor: public perception.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have now more than 20 years of sort of a subliminal public education because government talks about it in a favorable way, because we’ve had programs and plans,” O’Dell said. “We’re the birthplace, if you will, in this country, of the conventional hybrid. You know, the Prius is the national bird of Santa Monica. And on and on and on. People are a lot more comfortable with the idea of alternatives to the internal combustion engine.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But will people be comfortable with hydrogen and be willing to wait for hydrogen fueling stations to be built? That is something the automakers are willing to test drive in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>James Bell, head of consumer affairs for General Motors, says hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles should be considered just another part of the expanded offerings from automakers. Just as not everyone will drive a plug-in electric car, not everyone will drive a hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think any manufacturer sees… it as suddenly one day we’re all going to throw our electric- and gasoline-powered cars away and just go buy a hydrogen,” Bell said. “It’s going to be a slow [process].”\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly\">\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F122068788&show_artwork=true&maxwidth=900\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"640\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly-clear\">\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"embedly-powered\" style=\"float: right\">\u003ca title=\"Powered by Embedly\" href=\"http://embed.ly/code?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fkqed%2Fcutting-edge-cars-hydrogen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://static.embed.ly/images/logos/embedly-powered-small-light.png\" alt=\"Embedly Powered\">\u003c/a>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"media-attribution\">via \u003ca class=\"media-attribution-link\" href=\"http://soundcloud.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SoundCloud\u003c/a>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly-clear\">\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\n",

Arnold Schwarzenegger touted plans for a “hydrogen highway” in California, made up of dozens of hydrogen fueling stations linking the state. But the idea hit potholes and dead ends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, there are only about 10 public hydrogen stations in California, mostly in the L.A. area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The original ‘hydrogen highway’ under the Schwarzenegger era died because it was a joint public-private effort, but they really didn’t coordinate very well with the private companies, ” said John O’Dell, who covers green cars for the auto website \u003ca href=\"http://www.edmunds.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Edmunds.com\u003c/a>. “And you had fuel makers, like Shell and Exxon and others, say, ‘Well, why do we want to spend millions of dollars to put in fuel stations that are going to put us out of business some day?’ Plus, the economy collapsed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the hydrogen highway hit the skids. Consumers turned their attention to hybrids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, in September of this year, Gov. Jerry Brown \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_24294103/new-life-californias-struggling-hydrogen-highway-plan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">signed legislation to dedicate $20 million a year\u003c/a> for the next decade to build hydrogen fueling stations. The funding will build up to 100 stations, placed strategically in urban areas. The money comes from an extension of several existing fees on vehicle registration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hyundai North America’s Mike O’Brien said that’s one reason his company decided to roll out the first mass-produced hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle in the U.S. market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_119382\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 384px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/11/auto-show5-640.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-119382 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/11/auto-show5-640.jpg\" alt=\"The Hyundai Tucson hydrogen fuel-cell engine fits underneath the hood of the vehicle, much like a traditional gasoline-powered engine.

(Susan Valot/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“There’s a commitment now from the state of California to build infrastructure. There’s a renewed commitment with the federal government to invest in infrastructure,” O’Brien said. “So we’re seeing a change in terms of government seeding the market to help during what many consider this ‘black hole’ period, where there’s not enough fuel-cell vehicles to support the economics of an individual investor buying a fuel cell station or building one.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>O’Brien said it’s a delicate balance between producing hydrogen fuel-cell cars and creating the hydrogen infrastructure they’ll need, but he’s hopeful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If Henry Ford had stood in front of a large crowd of people in 1910 and said, ‘Gee, I don’t think there’s a future for gasoline vehicles because there aren’t that many stations around now,’ …the same facts in 1910 for gasoline exist today for hydrogen,” O’Brien pointed out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hyundai will roll out 1,000 hydrogen fuel-cell Tucsons initially, for both the U.S. and European markets. They’ll be built on the same assembly line as the company’s gasoline version of the Tucson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Toyota and Honda plan to roll out their first U.S. hydrogen models in the next couple of years. Other carmakers will follow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s all really about California’s goal of 80 percent greenhouse gas reduction by 2050. And when you just think about the simple technology appearance of it today, there’s no way to get 80 percent reduction with gasoline,” O’Brien said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, not every car company is putting its eggs in the hydrogen basket. Samantha Hoyt of Ford said her company will concentrate more on its plug-in electric vehicles and hybrids, for now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All those technologies are forthcoming,” Hoyt said, as she sat among Ford’s green offerings at the car show. “It won’t be long, and you will see hydrogen-cell vehicles in the market, but are they affordable to the average consumer?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hyundai says it initially plans to offer the vehicles on a $499 a month, 36-month lease with a $2,999 down payment. The payment includes hydrogen fuel, maintenance and service, but does not include a California rebate and federal tax breaks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Toyota’s offering is rumored to be about $50,000, unless the company opts to subsidize the car to get a better foothold in the market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Honda Fuel Cell Vehicle Sales and Marketing Manager Steve Ellis said California’s push to create hydrogen fueling stations is key.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California is really the crucible where all of this is being done and proven out and now, other regions of the U.S. won’t have to repeat those same mistakes,” Ellis said. “The mistakes of the chicken and egg, the mistakes of waiting until an automaker commits to a certain volume before they even start to fund the station.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edmunds.com green car expert John O’Dell said it will be a challenge to create a hydrogen-fueling infrastructure, but he said California does have one thing in its favor: public perception.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have now more than 20 years of sort of a subliminal public education because government talks about it in a favorable way, because we’ve had programs and plans,” O’Dell said. “We’re the birthplace, if you will, in this country, of the conventional hybrid. You know, the Prius is the national bird of Santa Monica. And on and on and on. People are a lot more comfortable with the idea of alternatives to the internal combustion engine.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But will people be comfortable with hydrogen and be willing to wait for hydrogen fueling stations to be built? That is something the automakers are willing to test drive in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>James Bell, head of consumer affairs for General Motors, says hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles should be considered just another part of the expanded offerings from automakers. Just as not everyone will drive a plug-in electric car, not everyone will drive a hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Known by the code name given to him when he was tagged with a GPS collar, he caused \u003ca href=\"http://science.kqed.org/quest/audio/lone-wolf%E2%80%99s-historic-trek-provokes-questions-and-concerns/\">quite a stir\u003c/a> among everyone from environmentalists to cattle ranchers. \u003ca href=\"http://science.kqed.org/quest/2013/01/23/fear-and-loathing-in-wolf-country/\">Conflicting feelings ran deep\u003c/a>, rooted in various cultures and histories: some revere the wolf; many fear it. OR7 has since returned to Oregon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our lone wolf notwithstanding, the gray wolf has made a healthy comeback since its listing under the Endangered Species Act over three decades ago — so much so that the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) is \u003ca href=\"http://www.fws.gov/home/wolfrecovery/\">proposing\u003c/a> to remove the animal from federal protections in the lower 48 states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wolf activists think the move to delist is premature, and are planning a \u003ca href=\"http://org.salsalabs.com/o/2167/p/salsa/event/common/public/?event_KEY=81110\">rally\u003c/a> in Sacramento on Friday, Nov. 22, to voice their opposition. The rally precedes an FWS \u003ca href=\"http://www.fws.gov/home/wolfrecovery/\">public hearing\u003c/a> on the proposal, one of several being held across the country. \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'We need to restore the gray wolf to the numbers where it's fulfilling its ecological role.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>FWS \u003ca href=\"http://www.fws.gov/home/wolfrecovery/pdf/FrequentlyAskedQuestions11-19-13.pdf\">states\u003c/a> on its website that there are now 5,360 gray wolves in the lower 48, with a current estimate of 1,674 in the northern Rocky Mountains and 3,686 in the western Great Lakes. The numbers, say FWS, far exceed the minimum numbers set at the outset of the recovery plan, and it is now time to \"focus our limited resources on the Mexican wolf population in the Southwest.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But activists say the numbers are not nearly enough to ensure full recovery. \"They're utterly deficient,\" says Amaroq Weiss of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.biologicaldiversity.org/\">Center for Biological Diversity\u003c/a>, one of the groups behind Friday's rally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We need to restore the gray wolf to the numbers where it's fulfilling its ecological role,\" Weiss adds. She points out what happened at \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_wolves_in_Yellowstone\">Yellowstone National Park\u003c/a>, when the gray wolf population was decimated in the 1920s. This resulted in elk — wolves' prey — proliferating and overgrazing on the area flora and fauna, which had a detrimental effect on the larger animal and plant environment. (The gray wolf was reintroduced to Yellowstone in 1995.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>FWS says the gray wolf population is \"robust\" in eight states – Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Washington and Oregon. If it does delist the animal, wolf recovery efforts will be left almost entirely to the states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which brings us back to OR7. When he crossed into California in December 2011, the Center for Biological Diversity and several other groups petitioned the state to add the gray wolf to its endangered species list. After several years of study, the prospects of state action do not look good, says Weiss. In an op-ed that ran in the \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/opinion/ci_24557440/wolves-california-needs-help-save-endangered-species\">Mercury News\u003c/a> today she wrote:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The word out of Sacramento this week is that a preliminary state study undergoing peer review tries to make a case against protecting wolves. In fact, OR-7's historic 500-mile journey from Oregon to California makes a very strong case for why wolves need protecting here, offering on-the-ground proof of what top researchers have said for decades: Recovering populations will return to California's thousands of acres of prime, upland wolf habitat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question is, will California be prepared to manage them when they get here?\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.fgc.ca.gov/\">California Fish and Game Commission\u003c/a> is expected to decide in February whether wolves should be protected under the state’s Endangered Species Act. They’ll be using the preliminary state study that Weiss mentioned in her op-ed. According to a \u003ca href=\"http://www.capitalpress.com/article/20131119/ARTICLE/131119888\">report from Capital Press\u003c/a>, the study recommends against endangered species protections because currently, there aren’t any wolves in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Should a wolf wander into California without being protected as a state or federal endangered species, it would be considered a “non-game” mammal, which means it can’t be hunted, but could be killed for causing property damage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is planning for more wolves. State officials have convened stakeholders including ranching, hunting and environmental groups to put together a \u003ca href=\"http://www.dfg.ca.gov/wildlife/nongame/wolf/Stakeholders.html\">statewide wolf management plan\u003c/a>. The plan would look at where wolves could expand to in California and will examine how other states have managed conflicts between wolves and livestock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hunting wolves is already allowed in the northern Rockies, and about 56 were killed in Wyoming this year, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.denverpost.com/environment/ci_24559595/feds-push-end-endangered-protection-gray-wolves-ignites\">Denver Post\u003c/a>. Michigan held its \u003ca href=\"http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/11/15/mich-prepares-for-first-wolf-hunt/3561529/\">first-ever wolf hunt\u003c/a> last Friday -- an effort, say state officials, to reduce wolf depredation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003cstrong>public hearing\u003c/strong> on the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service proposal to delist the gray wolf from the Endangered Species Act will be held on Friday, Nov. 22, 6-8:30 p.m., the Marriott Courtyard Sacramento Cal Expo, Golden State Ballroom, 1782 Tribute Road, Sacramento.

OR7 has since returned to Oregon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our lone wolf notwithstanding, the gray wolf has made a healthy comeback since its listing under the Endangered Species Act over three decades ago — so much so that the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) is \u003ca href=\"http://www.fws.gov/home/wolfrecovery/\">proposing\u003c/a> to remove the animal from federal protections in the lower 48 states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wolf activists think the move to delist is premature, and are planning a \u003ca href=\"http://org.salsalabs.com/o/2167/p/salsa/event/common/public/?event_KEY=81110\">rally\u003c/a> in Sacramento on Friday, Nov. 22, to voice their opposition.

The numbers, say FWS, far exceed the minimum numbers set at the outset of the recovery plan, and it is now time to \"focus our limited resources on the Mexican wolf population in the Southwest.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She points out what happened at \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_wolves_in_Yellowstone\">Yellowstone National Park\u003c/a>, when the gray wolf population was decimated in the 1920s. This resulted in elk — wolves' prey — proliferating and overgrazing on the area flora and fauna, which had a detrimental effect on the larger animal and plant environment. (The gray wolf was reintroduced to Yellowstone in 1995.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>FWS says the gray wolf population is \"robust\" in eight states – Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Washington and Oregon. If it does delist the animal, wolf recovery efforts will be left almost entirely to the states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which brings us back to OR7. When he crossed into California in December 2011, the Center for Biological Diversity and several other groups petitioned the state to add the gray wolf to its endangered species list. After several years of study, the prospects of state action do not look good, says Weiss. In an op-ed that ran in the \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/opinion/ci_24557440/wolves-california-needs-help-save-endangered-species\">Mercury News\u003c/a> today she wrote:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The word out of Sacramento this week is that a preliminary state study undergoing peer review tries to make a case against protecting wolves. In fact, OR-7's historic 500-mile journey from Oregon to California makes a very strong case for why wolves need protecting here, offering on-the-ground proof of what top researchers have said for decades: Recovering populations will return to California's thousands of acres of prime, upland wolf habitat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question is, will California be prepared to manage them when they get here?\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.fgc.ca.gov/\">California Fish and Game Commission\u003c/a> is expected to decide in February whether wolves should be protected under the state’s Endangered Species Act. They’ll be using the preliminary state study that Weiss mentioned in her op-ed. According to a \u003ca href=\"http://www.capitalpress.com/article/20131119/ARTICLE/131119888\">report from Capital Press\u003c/a>, the study recommends against endangered species protections because currently, there aren’t any wolves in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Should a wolf wander into California without being protected as a state or federal endangered species, it would be considered a “non-game” mammal, which means it can’t be hunted, but could be killed for causing property damage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is planning for more wolves. State officials have convened stakeholders including ranching, hunting and environmental groups to put together a \u003ca href=\"http://www.dfg.ca.gov/wildlife/nongame/wolf/Stakeholders.html\">statewide wolf management plan\u003c/a>. The plan would look at where wolves could expand to in California and will examine how other states have managed conflicts between wolves and livestock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hunting wolves is already allowed in the northern Rockies, and about 56 were killed in Wyoming this year, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.denverpost.com/environment/ci_24559595/feds-push-end-endangered-protection-gray-wolves-ignites\">Denver Post\u003c/a>. Michigan held its \u003ca href=\"http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/11/15/mich-prepares-for-first-wolf-hunt/3561529/\">first-ever wolf hunt\u003c/a> last Friday -- an effort, say state officials, to reduce wolf depredation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003cstrong>public hearing\u003c/strong> on the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service proposal to delist the gray wolf from the Endangered Species Act will be held on Friday, Nov. 22, 6-8:30 p.m., the Marriott Courtyard Sacramento Cal Expo, Golden State Ballroom, 1782 Tribute Road, Sacramento. A \u003cstrong>rally\u003c/strong> by those opposed to the delisting is scheduled the same day at 4 p.m. at the entrance to the Marriott.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Since that time, one was seen in Auburn in 2010, one in Point Reyes in 2012.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lewis said there may be a gap in sightings because \u003ca href=\"http://californiabirds.org/cbrc_book/\" target=\"_blank\">Rare Birds of California\u003c/a> only records to 2006, and the global online tool for birders, \u003ca href=\"http://ebird.org/content/ebird/\" target=\"_blank\">eBird\u003c/a>, doesn’t have a lot of data pre-2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In any regard, it’s an exciting find,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lewis said males and females of the painted redstart species are identical, so it’s not known whether this is a male or female.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How or why this particular bird ended up in Berkeley is something of a mystery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many of these species migrate to Central and South America to spend the winter, and some few individuals get lost on their route, sometimes migrating in reverse direction, sometimes blown off course by storms, or overshooting their targets,” Lewis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once the news was out that the bird was in Berkeley — Bertsche had posted a Rare Bird Alert for the benefit of the birding community — it was clear there would be a rush to see it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sensitive to the fact that her neighborhood could become “a mob scene” if many birders descended on the area, Bertsche made a flyer which she posted in neighbors’ mailboxes around Prince, Woolsey and Lewiston — the three streets on which the redstart had been spotted, in, respectively, a poplar, an oak, and a birch. She wrote:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Dear Neighbors, I wanted to let you know about the sudden proliferation of Birdwatchers with Binoculars and cameras in the neighborhood! There has been a rare sighting of a bird called a Painted Redstart, which is often seen between Prince St. and Woolsey St. Normally this bird lives in Arizona and this is the first record of this bird being seen in Alameda county. As a result a lot of people are interested in seeing it while it is here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I have been allowing birders access to my yard to look for it, birders should be polite about private property, please let me and them know if you are ok with allowing them to access your driveway or yard, or if people [are] being a bother, and I will convey this information to the birder community.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Bertsche included a photograph of a redstart and her phone number on the flyer so that people could contact her for more information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But quickly her “phone exploded,” she said, prompting her to leave voice mail messages for the dozens of callers with updates on the location of the small bird.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bertsche said neighbors have been very gracious about having the birders in their midst. She estimates that more than 200 people have seen the bird since Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Poulson said the redstart was very “hyper” when she and Gluck saw it Monday. “It’s moving all the time, turning 180 degrees back and forth,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bertsche has only lived in the area for a year and said this event has proved a great way for her to meet the neighbors, including one man on her street who, it turns out, leads bird walks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When these sorts of things happen, people who don’t know each other connect and get to know each other through a shared interest,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bertsche is keeping a guestbook for birders to sign and, so far, enthusiasts have come from as far as Chico, Point Reyes and Lodi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She's working on a painting of the special bird. She said the only reason she spotted it originally was because she had told herself to start each day by getting a coffee and then taking it to her deck to do a drawing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’d been spending too much time doing non-art work, in front of the computer,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A fortuitous decision that has made many bird enthusiasts very happy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Cal Walters, whose close-ups of the painted redstart in Berkeley are included with this story, took the photographs Sunday, Nov. 17. Other photographs of the bird have been posted on eBird by Bob Lewis, Vicki Robinson, and Michael Park, among others.

They didn’t find it but spotted it the following day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lewis, who runs Bay Area birding site \u003ca href=\"http://www.wingbeats.org/\">Wingbeats\u003c/a>, said the last sighting of a painted redstart reported for Northern California was last November. “This is the first sighting for Alameda County,” he said via email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_118796\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://calwalters.zenfolio.com/p583139309\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-118796\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/11/Painted-Redstart2-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"The painted redstart on a telephone cable in Berkeley.

Since that time, one was seen in Auburn in 2010, one in Point Reyes in 2012.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lewis said there may be a gap in sightings because \u003ca href=\"http://californiabirds.org/cbrc_book/\" target=\"_blank\">Rare Birds of California\u003c/a> only records to 2006, and the global online tool for birders, \u003ca href=\"http://ebird.org/content/ebird/\" target=\"_blank\">eBird\u003c/a>, doesn’t have a lot of data pre-2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In any regard, it’s an exciting find,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lewis said males and females of the painted redstart species are identical, so it’s not known whether this is a male or female.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How or why this particular bird ended up in Berkeley is something of a mystery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many of these species migrate to Central and South America to spend the winter, and some few individuals get lost on their route, sometimes migrating in reverse direction, sometimes blown off course by storms, or overshooting their targets,” Lewis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once the news was out that the bird was in Berkeley — Bertsche had posted a Rare Bird Alert for the benefit of the birding community — it was clear there would be a rush to see it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sensitive to the fact that her neighborhood could become “a mob scene” if many birders descended on the area, Bertsche made a flyer which she posted in neighbors’ mailboxes around Prince, Woolsey and Lewiston — the three streets on which the redstart had been spotted, in, respectively, a poplar, an oak, and a birch. She wrote:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Dear Neighbors, I wanted to let you know about the sudden proliferation of Birdwatchers with Binoculars and cameras in the neighborhood! There has been a rare sighting of a bird called a Painted Redstart, which is often seen between Prince St. and Woolsey St. Normally this bird lives in Arizona and this is the first record of this bird being seen in Alameda county. As a result a lot of people are interested in seeing it while it is here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I have been allowing birders access to my yard to look for it, birders should be polite about private property, please let me and them know if you are ok with allowing them to access your driveway or yard, or if people [are] being a bother, and I will convey this information to the birder community.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Bertsche included a photograph of a redstart and her phone number on the flyer so that people could contact her for more information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But quickly her “phone exploded,” she said, prompting her to leave voice mail messages for the dozens of callers with updates on the location of the small bird.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bertsche said neighbors have been very gracious about having the birders in their midst. She estimates that more than 200 people have seen the bird since Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Poulson said the redstart was very “hyper” when she and Gluck saw it Monday. “It’s moving all the time, turning 180 degrees back and forth,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bertsche has only lived in the area for a year and said this event has proved a great way for her to meet the neighbors, including one man on her street who, it turns out, leads bird walks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When these sorts of things happen, people who don’t know each other connect and get to know each other through a shared interest,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bertsche is keeping a guestbook for birders to sign and, so far, enthusiasts have come from as far as Chico, Point Reyes and Lodi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She's working on a painting of the special bird. She said the only reason she spotted it originally was because she had told herself to start each day by getting a coffee and then taking it to her deck to do a drawing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’d been spending too much time doing non-art work, in front of the computer,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A fortuitous decision that has made many bird enthusiasts very happy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Cal Walters, whose close-ups of the painted redstart in Berkeley are included with this story, took the photographs Sunday, Nov. 17. Other photographs of the bird have been posted on eBird by Bob Lewis, Vicki Robinson, and Michael Park, among others.

This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
