Canada lynx © Matthew Quaid, greatnorthernimages.com: I was snowshoeing and noticed very fresh lynx tracks and heard the magpies making a lot of noise, so I decided to explore more. As I came out into an opening, there the lynx was at the edge of it, and she even walked toward me as I clicked away. I believe she was curious at the unique sound of the camera shutter. But that didn't last long and she left to the security of the thick woods.

Amazing to think it has been 25 years keeping the Northwest wild, and thanks to all of you! Yet some of our greatest supporters are those we may not even know about—people who have included Conser vation Northwest in their estate plans. If you are one of those generous folks, please accept our deep- est appreciation. If you have not yet con- sidered your estate plans, or if you have a will without provisions for a charitable gi, please consider this opportunity to establish your personal legacy. Today, 80 percent of Americans make gis to charity each year, yet only 8 per- cent make gis in their wills. Imagine if the full percent of Americans who give during their lifetimes also made a chari- table gi through their estate plans! Oen people think that their estate may not be significant enough for such considerations. Regardless of size, we all Black bear cub. Citizen Wildlife Monitoring Project
