Tiger Swallowtail
Saw very little swamp milkweed this year:( One of my favorite flowers. Great scent!
Ruffed Grouse
Ruffed Grouse mom trying to lure me away. One of young not following her directions!
Beaver pond off of Five Falls
Lots of new life on beaver pond.
Duck family at Blake Reservoir
A stop at Blake Reservoir to walk and wade, when we saw a family of ducks - 10 babies and an adult. The curious ducklings got closer and closer to me until they were ultimately less than 4 feet away. Mama kept scolding them and scooting them back until she finally had enough and took them away.
Hottest summer on record for the North Country
Are you younger than 96 years old? Did you spend your summer here in the North Country? If you answered yes to both, then you just experienced the hottest summer on record (1922-present)! Yes, the summer of 2018 was a hot one.
