During a bird-watching walk we encountered this porcupine up in a grove of small trees, munching away. Porcupines often spend time up in trees!

It was a rainy day the other day, so I decided to take a walk to the creek and see how the water looked. As soon as I got in, I could feel that the water was really flowing, and the crayfish were really moving! This big guy was the slowest of the group, but he was the only one lucky enough to get his picture taken, and he got to get right back to swimming in the rain!

As part of our amphibian-themed campfire, we were able to catch this American toad on the Kip Track!

This white-tailed deer was outside of Johnson Science Hall! I took this picture through a window (I did not get this close, don't worry) and she looked right at me! Super awesome, and I have seen this deer around the St. Lawrence campus a few times, once with her fawn. 

I was on my porch when I spotted this beauty in a plum tree. I have never seen one here around the lake. Have you? What a beautiful bird. Red Headed Woodpecker

Found several Ganoderma tsugae (hemlock varnish shelf fungus) and was thrilled to see 3 of these beetles. They eat fungi exclusively, and specialize on Ganoderma.
