DNR posts top 10 unique wildlife photos and stories of 2012
The Wisconsin DNR has posted the top 10 wildlife photos and stories of the year on their website.
Wisconsin’s rare wildlife and plant species yielded some of the most spectacular photos and stories in 2012, from an exceptional irruption of snowy owls, to a 1-in-a million albino bat found in February, to a bald eagle nursed back to health after winding up in the grille of an oncoming truck while diving for roadkill.
View the incredible Wisconsin images and stories that made 2012 a notable year, in addition to celebrating the 40th anniversary of the state law that protects endangered species by clicking here. DNR Top Ten 2012.
These Top 10 selections reflect those photos and stories that came to the attention of Department of Natural Resources communications staff and is decidedly not a scientific survey. If there’s a notable story or photo missing, please share it on DNR’s Facebook page and add to the conversation. www.facebook.com/WIDNR.
