Piercing the Forest
On the steep and rocky slopes of the Western Maryland mountains, one man walks the deep, dark forests with an eye out for a mysterious and elusive bird called the Goshawk. DNR wildlife biologist Dave Brinker's mission: to track down what he believes to be the only nesting pair of Goshawks in the state, fit the birds with expensive tracking transmitters, and return them to the safety of their treetop nests.
Mother Nature's Cops
They're out there. On the land, sea and air, Maryland's Department of Natural Resources police are on the job, 24 hours a day, defending the state's resources against problems -- from neglect, to lack of respect to outright criminal behavior.
The Humble Catch
Many people cut their fishing teeth on the critter called the Yellow Perch. Once plentiful, DNR biologists now worriedly suspect the number of Yellow Perch in the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries is dropping. That's prompted the agency to ply Maryland waters in search of an answer.
