Good luck viewing!

Doh, I feel like an idiot now. I was wondering why everything was all black on the cameras, and I thought it was poorly set up or something, or something was broken somewhere. Now I realise it's night time for you guys ;) Aaaaahhh! Doh, I feel like an idiot now.

Thanks for the ID on the spider. We've been familiar with these all our lives (some get considerably larger than this one), but have never taken the time to figure out what they were. They were just these magical giant spiders from childhood, which seemed very un-Wisconsin-ish, and more like something that you'd find in the tropics. But they're certainly beautiful arachnids!

Thanks for the fun comment =) Actually, it was extremely surprising when we saw our first white wolf. It was Maya, I think, and she didn't look wolf-like at all. Since we didn't post any white wolf pics, you must have gone to the cams -- pretty fun, aren't they? Hey Wilderness J!

I immediately thought those must be sheep in wolves' clothing. I go by the maxim, "If it looks like a duck, it must be a duck!" So, are you sure you were at the Wolf Center? Surely sheep have Centers, too. What better way to have dinner? Dress up like a sheep. It worked in the Little Red Riding Hood saga. Only her Grandma wasn't named "Kenton". Great adventure! Thanks.

Maybe someday I'll manage one. That spider appears to be one of the <em>Dolomedes</em> fishing spiders - perhaps <a href="http://bugguide.net/node/view/140551/bgimage" rel="nofollow"><em>D. tenebrosus</em></a>. Even more impressive than the fact that the first wolf fatality happened to someone named Kenton is that you found this out ;-) regards--ted A book deal – wow, you’re my hero!

We hope you see some cool stuff on the wolf cams -- not sure what they'll see during your 'daytime' since you're checking in from Australia, but one person who works there said that there was 'tension' in the pack recently -- meaning fighting over food, probably. Saturday evening US time is when they feed the wolves -- we're not sure if that's on the cams, but we're sure going to watch this Saturday, since it would be pretty cool to watch them sit down to eat. We have a feeling it might be more exciting than a typical human dinner party =) Thanks Albert!

Having followed your writing over several years, I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner! I'm looking forward, as are some of my friends, to seeing you in print. Thanks for mentioning the International Wolf Center. Ted and I have been members for years and love their wolf cam. They do important work for our wolves. We have been lucky enough to see a wolf in the wild - from a distance - up near Grand Marais, but it was unmistakeably a wolf. Thanks for this website - we love it!
