Porcupine picture in Lampson Falls

Lampson Falls New, York is the spot that many different species have enjoyed life in the North country. As i hiked the Lampson Falls trail something which really impressed me was how visible the different species were. If you look closely at this picture you can see a porcupine climbing up a large pine tree. Something that is very interesting about this picture is the route taken to find this porcupine. Our natural world history class followed the tracks of this porcupine. We then saw porcupine needles, looked up the tree and sure enough the animal was climbing higher and higher. This is an example of how these species are so easy to find in the beautiful north country.
