Arizona Wildlife Views
Water Catchments and Coyote Survey
Have your ever seen an owl dance with a fox? How about a fawn taking a bath? The Arizona Game and Fish department has installed video cameras at a number of wildlife water drinkers throughout the state and we’ll show you some of the most interesting animal behavior caught on tape. Also, go out at night with us on a howling survey and see how biologists use special music to count coyotes.
Waterhole Project
Years ago, Arizona was rich with small streams and wetlands, even in the harshest of deserts. Development of the land and the demand for water has changed that, which in turn has affected wildlife populations and their search for water. A group of sportsmen has risen to the challenge, single-handedly working in a volunteer effort to bring water to wildlife. We’ll show you how they do it, and what drives these men to take on such a difficult task.
Tres Rios
An area just west of Phoenix is being developed into a wildlife paradise; rivers and desert are being converted into an area people can go to see and hear wild animals of many species. One part of the Tres Rios project involves the management of the beaver population in the area. Once abundant, they are now scarce. See what biologists are doing to bring them back.
