This is the time of the year when fisher kits are quite demanding! They are still relegated to their den & not full grown, but they’ve come a long way since being born in March or April and only being a few ounces.

Moose are food and culture for so many. This beautiful piece of digital art captures that - very stoked for the 2023 moose conference hosted by Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa.

Coyote signtings from a safe distance are not a cause for concern. These animals live throughout New York, from forested to urban areas. However if a coyote shows little fear of people or is seen frequently during the day, contact your Regional DEC Wildlife Office.

[Roosevelt Wild Life Station @Roosevelt_ESF]

@NYSDEC has issued new guidance to avoid human-coyote conflicts. Coyotes tend to be more active in the spring, increasing the frequency of sightings. Also, pups are born in the spring, which can make adults more protective and territorial. https://t.co/l5oRFi7eiz

[Roosevelt Wild Life Station @Roosevelt_ESF]

The most important advice is to limit access to food. Coyotes can quickly learn to associate humans with food, which can lead to increased contact and conflict. Never feed coyotes, and don't leave accessible pet food, garbage, or compost outside.

Our very own Melanie Berger @Bat_Maam_ was featured for Mighty Oak Monday! Check out the awesome work she's doing with @NYSDEC and
@MammalSurvey 🦇🦇

[SUNY ESF @sunyesf]

Melanie Berger had three favorite animals growing up: wolves, tigers, and bats. Which animal has she spent working to preserve with agencies like the @NYSDEC? https://t.co/NcE7WXkSi8

Check out RWLS Director Dr. Jacqueline Frair's recent interview with WRVO about coyotes in CNY! She discusses coyotes behavior in urban and suburban neighborhoods, and what to do if you encounter one.

Earlier this month, DEC deployed GPS collars on nineteen #moose calves within the Adirondack Park. The collaring effort is part of a multi-year study, in collaboration with @Cornell and @sunyesf, to assess the survival of juvenile moose in the #Adirondacks.
