How to Participate:
Hiding baby
This little crossed in front of me and then thought she was camouflaged enough.
Butterflies and Raspberries!
My mother used to love to pick berries. This butterfly landed next to me while I was picking. I would like to think she visited me while in the berry patch!
Sunset on Cranberry Lake
A really pretty sunset I captured during my stay at SUNY ESF’s field biology station at Cranberry Lake.
Sleepy Porcupine!
Found this little sleepy fella in a tree during my Ornithology lab :)
Funny Little Borer Beetle
Found this guy while walking outside. Appears to be some sort of Flat-headed Borer. We was very polite as he crawled on my hand.
Marbled Salamander from the Catskills
During my first ever visit to the Catskills, I wandered through the woods to see what I could find. After flipping a few rocks with no success, I found this sleep salamander! I made sure to return the rocks to their initial positions, ensuring I did not let them touch or crush the critters!
Writers Series and the Center for the Environment present Alison Hawthorne Deming
The event is free and open to the public.
Loon with Breakfast
While canoeing on Trout Lake we encountered this adult common loon with a pumpkin seed sunfish.
Great Horned Owl
The crows and bluejays alerted me to the presence of this GHO just off the trail.
