Beautiful day… for a tick drag

[U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service @USFWS]

We need to talk about white-nose syndrome. No, not like Scarface. We're talking about the deadly disease that affects hibernating bats caused by a fungus. #BatWeek thread incoming.

I think we were one of the first cars over this bridge last week when we were out doing field work in the area. Such a beautiful spot!

[New York State Dept. of Environmental Conservation @NYSDEC]

Commissioner @BasilSeggos today announced the completion of a temporary bridge over the LaBier Flow Dam on Gulf Brook Road in the Boreas Ponds Tract, restoring access to the Four Corners Parking Area at the end of Gulf Brook Road for pedestrians and motorists.
