I stopped by the Stewart Avenue bridge over Fall Creek gorge this afternoon and was not surprised to see the Red-tailed Hawk nest empty and no obvious adults or juveniles in the vicinity, though I did not make a long or thorough search. When did they fledge, or alternatively when were they last see
Lee Ann,Thank-you for bringing me up to date. My Peterson Field Guide to Reptiles and Amphibians has a photo of a Snapping Turtle being held by the base of the tail, but the copyright on that book is 1958, and a few things have been learned since then, including how to be more humane. I appreciated
Hi all,
I am leaving the States now to spend two months in the Yucatan Peninsula doing

First canoeing of the season on Dryden Lake yesterday afternoon (sorry for late
post - sore muscles!). Flushed an adult bald eagle from the NE edge of the lake
which flew directly across and perched in trees on the west edge. When we
arrived opposite the main park pavilion some kayaks again flus
Hello All,
Just a reminder and a "warm" invitation to all to come on out for the
