The gray wolf that has spent more than a month zigzagging throughout eastern Jackson County and western Klamath County has wandered into Northern California to become that state's first confirmed wolf in 87 years.
But whether he will take up residency or is visiting for the holidays remains to be seen.
The wolf, known as OR-7, has a satellite-transmitting device on his collar that registered a ping at noon Wednesday in Siskiyou County just a few miles from the Oregon border.

Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife biologists received a download Thursday noting the location, and they informed their counterparts in California of the wolf's presence, said Michelle Dennehy, the ODFW's Wildlife Division spokeswoman.
The wolf had been in the Keno area earlier this week before becoming the first confirmed wolf in California since one was killed in Lassen County in 1924.
The animal on Wednesday was on public land in eastern Siskiyou County but lands not considered prime wolf habitat, which is usually associated with plenty of distance from roads and people, Stopher said.
This particular area has "too many people, too much agriculture and not enough cover," Stopher said.
