UMN researchers are mapping coyote boundaries in the Twin Cities metro

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:25:40 GMT

Tim Regan never noticed coyotes or wild dogs in Highland Park. But in 2017, he walked past an old rail yard that was once part of the St. Paul Ford Motor Co. site, which had closed years earlier and was being torn down.“And I turned around and there was this coyote there,” he said.He quickly went home to get his camera, and when he came back, it was still lounging.“And then I just started seeing them,” Regan said. “They’re kind of everywhere if you look for them.” He didn’t stop photographing, either. Since 2017, he’s been chronicling the “Highland dogs,” learning their behaviors and assessing common misconceptions people have about them.This hobby connected him with the researchers spearheading the Twin Cities Coyote and Fox Project, a University of Minnesota effort to understand habitat use and diets and measure disease prevalence in coyote and fox populations in the metro area.‘Coyotes and foxes’James Forester, a principal investigator of the project, said looking int...

HUDSON, N.Y. (NEWS10) — In the Patroon League this season, it's been Chatham...and then everybody else.

Highest-rated cafes in St. Louis, according to Yelp

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:25:40 GMT

From the first coffee houses in the Ottoman Empire to Boston's London Coffee House, cafes have always been an egalitarian place to gather, sip, and share ideas, many of which have changed the world.During the Enlightenment, cafes would regularly entertain the likes of Voltaire, Rousseau, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and Isaac Newton. Later, Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre would spend hours in cafes, pondering their works and holding court alongside other intellectuals.Needless to say, coffee and cafes beget some revolutionary ideas; sipping a cup may even be a political act. When settlers dumped tea into the Boston Harbor to send a message to the British empire, tea became a British loyalist's drink, and coffee became a popular substitute. Unsurprisingly, Boston's London Coffee House opened in 1689, was soon renamed the American Coffee House. Later on in Philadelphia, Merchant Coffee House, also known as the City Tavern, would host the likes of George Washington, Tho...

As Palisade’s Sami Feller navigates rookie season with Chicago Red Stars, long drives leading to pro career were worth it

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:25:40 GMT

Sami Feller admits she doesn’t want to know how many hours of her life were spent making the eight-hour round trip between Palisade and Denver.It’s a drive she made countless times throughout high school and her college career at the University of Denver — a hallmark of her commitment to reach the highest levels of women’s soccer.And despite going undrafted after a stellar run with the Pioneers, it all paid off this spring when the Chicago Red Stars offered her a three-year contract to play in the NWSL.“My senior year of high school I got another car and since then I’ve put 150,000 miles on it,” Feller told The Post in a phone interview last month. “The miles that I’ve put on my current car — it would probably make me sad with how much I’ve spent driving.”Few college scouts make the drive to Grand Junction, nor anywhere else along the Western Slope, to find hidden gems.
