The gray wolf that's been traipsing through the snow on the far northern edge of the state since late December has returned after a brief crossing back into Oregon. According to the California Department of Fish and Game, which gets a report via satellite most days from the radio collar around OR7's neck, he crossed into Oregon on March 1, then was back in California when the satellite passed over on March 3. He was still in Siskiyou County on Monday, but on Tuesday there was no satellite upload.
