MacKenzie continues to surprise the staff in her tolerance of the warm season noises: construction, increased traffic, motorcycles, and humans going for walks on the adjacent road. With the leaves about 3 weeks from emerging, the sound will continue to carry through the woods until a thick layer of green vegetation appears. Staff are spending a lot of time around the retired pack to reinforce more relaxed behavior. Assistant Curator, Donna Prichard is here for the month assisting the wolf care program and she spends many hours in the lab and adjacent wolf yard. The wolves welcome her back to the enclosure and look forward to the day when she may make her move to Northern Minnesota.
