Sorry for banging on about black-footed ferrets, but here’s a bit on why this trip was so special to me: Forty years ago the black-footed ferret was a bit more like the Loch Ness Monster than it is today. By the time everyone came to an agreement that the black-footed ferret existed, it was already getting scarce.

As lovely as the Sage Grouse were, our trip had another primary mission — to see the amazing, highly endangered black-footed ferret. Ferret 492 — a black-footed ferret, Mustela nigripes — raises her head from a black-tailed prairie dog’s burrow, sniffs the April night. Not Ferret 492, though.

I had never heard of the use of ferrets in medical research though.

Besides the black-footed ferrets, one of the promised highlights of my trip to the Charles M. Normally, we would have had to get up pretty early to see such a thing, but fortunately for us, the nocturnal habits of the ferrets meant that we’d never gotten to bed in the first place.

Other felids are all much larger, the similar sized carnivores are things like minks and ferrets, and they have very different habits. If cats displace ferrets, then that probably means that birds are getting hit harder than rodents, and among birds, adult birds are getting hit harder than eggs or hatchlings.
