Watch: Rare sunbathing lynx captured on video near Silverton

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:10:36 GMT

Silverton photographer Wesley Berg was out on a mission to capture photos of moose this week when he came across a smaller and more elusive creature: A lynx.On Tuesday, the retired research scientist and professional wildlife photographer was skiing up a mountain near his hometown, camera in tow, when he spotted the lynx about 100 yards away laying in the snow.Berg slowly approached the animal from the opposite side of a creek until he was about 100 feet away – close enough to capture photos and video with an 800-millimeter lens, offering outdoor enthusiasts a rare up-close look at one of the state’s most mystifying big cats.“I took some photos and sat down and hung out for well over an hour. And it was just laying there, nodding off,” Berg told The Denver Post. “Then the sun came up and hit it and at some point, I think it got hot, because it got up, stretched, looked around, and got back into the shade and laid down. A little while later, it got up and wandered off.”Related Articl...

Barbara Bridges is in no hurry to figure out what comes next, but there’s sure to be more.“I don’t know the answer to that at the moment,” said the arts champion, philanthropist and Denver Film’s Women + Film banner founder a couple of weeks after her retirement party in late March. “So, my answer is always cleaning out closets and traveling. Those are the only two things that I know about right now. And then we’ll just see.”When the Women + Film Festival opened its 14th installment Thursday night at Denver Film’s Sie FilmCenter with the lively and smart documentary “Judy Blume Forever,” Bridge’s absence after nearly 20 years of often visionary leadership was felt — but so was her legacy. Bridges grew in her role as a film champion in tandem with her partnership with the arts organization Denver Film.As a board member, she sponsored panels within The Women + Film Voices Film Festival and then — with the help of Tammy Brislin and guidance of Brit Withey, the o...

DeSantis signs Florida’s 6-week abortion ban. Could that hurt his presidential chances?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:10:36 GMT

By Steve Contorno | CNNFloridians woke up Friday morning to discover Gov. Ron DeSantis had signed into law a six-week abortion ban overnight, meeting behind closed doors with a select group of invited guests to give final approval to a bill that had just passed the state legislature earlier in the day.In backing a six-week ban, DeSantis fulfilled a campaign pledge to block abortion after the detection of a heartbeat — just before he is expected to launch his 2024 presidential bid. But as he inches toward a national campaign, DeSantis, who rarely sidesteps cultural clashes, has also become oddly muted on abortion since the fall of Roe v. Wade and has avoided laying out a federal platform before jumping into the race.Speaking Friday morning to an overwhelmingly pro-life audience at Liberty University, a deeply conservative Baptist college in Virginia, DeSantis didn’t mention the bill he had signed the night before.The late-night private signing also stood in stark contrast...

Aumentan los reportes de abuso infantil en Prince George’s después de la pandemia

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:10:36 GMT

Más de 600 mil niños son abusados anualmente en Estados Unidos y cada día al menos cinco mueren debido a estas causas, según la Alianza Nacional de la Niñez. Según la directora de la Unidad de Víctimas Especiales y Violencia, Jess Garth, la llegada del COVID-19 pudo haber ocasionado un aumento en el reporte de estos casos en el condado Prince George’s.“Después de que terminó la pandemia, entre comillas, y los niños volvieron a la escuela, estamos viendo más informes”, destacó.“Y creemos que eso no se debió a que no ocurriera el abuso infantil, sino a que los informantes no tenían acceso a los niños”, agregó, por su parte, Aisha Braveboy, fiscal estatal del condado.Uno de los casos más recientes que ilustra lo vulnerable que pueden ser los menores, fue el arresto de una empleada de una guardería en Oxon Hill que se filmó agrediendo a dos niños y compartiéndolo en redes sociales, enfrentando cargos por abuso infantil y agresión. “El juez estuvo de a...

Cedric the Entertainer enjoying life in his ‘Neighborhood’

NEW YORK (AP) — “The Neighborhood” might be a hit sitcom now, but needed some careful planning before laying down a solid foundation.“We shot the pilot twice. We had to recast. And so, there was moments where you didn’t think the show was going to go,” said Cedric the Entertainer. “But the elements of it, the idea that it was about gentrification, the idea that it was about a Black family kind of staying true to their neighborhood when they saw white families moving in … I think it just caught legs and really resonated with people because we do it in, of course, a sitcom, lighthearted way.”“The Neighborhood,” now it its fifth season on CBS, follows the Butlers, a Black family led by Calvin (Cedric) and Tina ( Tichina Arnold ) as they coexist with their white neighbors, Dave (Max Greenfield) and Gemma Johnson (Beth Behrs), who moved from the Midwest to a predominately Black neighborhood in Pasadena, California. The show celebrated its 100th episode this week.While not every episode d...
