Deer in daylight
This deer had turned the Permaculture Garden at St. Lawrence University into her home for weeks by the time this picture was taken. She had become a nuisance - ravaging crop left unprotected. On this particular day, she was munching on some apple tree leaves. About a week later, I spotted her hiding in the tall grass in the garden with new twin fawns.
Indian Creek Fall Bird Walk
We will meet at 8:00AM in the parking lot at the main entrance. Please dress for the weather and be prepared for potentially muddy trails by wearing good walking shoes and prepared for mosquitoes with repellant. We expect to find fall songbird, raptor, and waterfowl migrants passing through on their way to wintering in the southern US and Latin America, as well as resident species that are found at Indian Creek year-round. Bring binoculars, or we have a few to loan for the walk. If you plan to attend, email: eiwheeler@yahoo.com.
