Lynx Trap, British Columbia, Canada, 2005

Photo: Bird wing waving above a lynx trap

A bird's wing waves above a trap set for lynx in British Columbia, Canada. Captured for conservation, trapped cats are set free in the Colorado Rockies—part of a project to restore the lynx to their historic range after decades of absence.
