BBI's Peter Bloom was recently featured in an article from the Wall Street Journal, examining the role of roadkill in biology and conservation efforts.  There is a video as well, where Pete uses part of a musk deer to trap Turkey Vultures in an ongoing study effort to determine why their numbers have been "dwindling".
