This picture is a close up taken on April 5, at the River Park. This little tree was right next to me when I was on the riverbank. There was a little bug climbing up the tree and I thought it would be an appropriate picture for a close up. The life expectancy of these little bugs is very short so it must reproduce a lot to maintain its population.

Movement Photo: This picture was taken on February 26th, 2014 on a field trip in Lampsons Falls. This waterfall is the most popular in the St. Lawrence County because of how big it is. On my field trip we walked right along side to the waterfall, which was a very cool experience. Lampsons Falls is about 40 feet tall and 100 feet wide. Grass River Wild Forest is a trail that leads you to this wonderful waterfall. The thing I found most interesting about this photo is the large amount of water rushing over the Falls. This photo really captures the movement of this beautiful waterfall.

This is a landscape picture, taken at Stone Valley on February 5th. I thought this picture would be a good landscape photo because it captured the river, snow, and the forest behind it. The picture also shows the snow covering the thin ice, which I was very hesitant to walk over with the risk of falling through.

This is a photo of I took on February 22nd, 2014 while hiking at Lampson Falls of the waterfall itself.

Habitat Description: This photo was taken at the top of Lampson Falls during the winter months. The Falls was frozen over, but there were some parts of the waterfall that were unfrozen. The waterfall was very rocky, and it flowed into a deep pool below that was frozen over.

This photograph is of a tracking sign of a Pileated Woodpecker. The Pileated woodpecker is a very large North American woodpecker and the holes in this broken tree trunk shows that a woodpecker was drilling holes to find insects. This picture was taken at Stone Valley, at the end of January. The picture shows the Pileated Woodpeckers feeding habitats, which this picture depicts it was probably looking for beetle larvae or carpenter ants. Pileated Woodpeckers chip out large holes in trees in search for insects. It is also a possibility that this dead tree was a nesting home.

This is a photo I took on September 22nd, 2013 of my friend fishing at a private fishing club located on a remote break off section of the St. Regis River system in Deer River State Forest called Deer River.

We were mostly out of breath when we reached the top of Azure, but the view of the landscape stole whatever breath we had left. It was one of the most beautiful experiences I've had in 2014, and that's why I took this particular photo. It felt like a fantasy.

This is a photo I took on September 22nd, 2013 of a brook trout I caught on a stonefly when I went fishing at my friends private fishing club in a very remote break-off section of the St. Regis River called Deer River.
Habitat Description: The habitat of the creek I was fishing consisted of a very wide and shallow creek. Although not visible in the photo, the water was moving extremely slow. As the photo was taken in the tail end of September, the water temperature that day could be described as only lukewarm.

A Saturday skiing with friends during my Freshman year at St. Lawrence. It was a bluebird day and one of my first times skiing at Whiteface as a college student. This photo of the summit was taken from the top of the Cloudsplitter gondola (Little Whiteface). It remains my Facebook cover photo to this day!

Using a Canon EOS Rebel T3i, one doe was photographed leading her two fawns across the marginally frozen Little River at 1647hrs on 02FEB14. The doe was likely either searching for food or following a migratory route to seasonal territory. It is plausible that populations of deer and other organisms with similar food sources were concentrated on the south (located on left in picture) bank. Using neurological pheromone detection, deer can detect the presence of competitors.
