We have the largest variety and number of wildlife of anywhere in the country, but we act like a spotting is something to post on Facebook, and make into a big production.  Could we possibly use a little savvy and sophistication in this respect?  As we continue to encroach into the habitat of the creatures who allow us to share the planet with them, there will, out of necessity, be more interaction with them.  In the vast majority of cases, animals don't want to be around us, any more than we want them to.  If left to their own devices, they will return whence they came.  If we use common sense, and don't provide food sources, they will simply move on.  I believe the only time there should be intervention should be if the animals pose a danger of harming themselves or someone else.  Authorities always ask the public not to congregate in viewing, but a crowd of gawkers taking pictures always forms.  Stay away. An animal who is no threat can become one when angered by stupid people.
