The mortality was apparently relatively low this year. If hunters are noticing a lower deer population, it might be to local mortality and perhaps they'd have better luck at other sites. The disease will abruptly stop spreading now that we've had cold weather. Hopefully we won't get a bigger...

Yep. I concur. The ticks will take a sustained killing frost. I think the chiggers are totally wasted now though. Yay winter! :)

What amazing shots, Bob. A peregrine! I am really impressed. I love the bittern shot, too.

My husband worked there, I can see the hangar in the photo right above the tail of the plane. They've since built another one so that photo must be a couple of years old.

LIP, have you ever tried internet dating? Just a thought.

GOD, people can suck.

Haha! I had one of those crickets leap off the wall and land right on the small of my back while I was in the shower. I screamed like a girl. :) I HATE that!

My GOD. No matter you are having such a hard time. Calculus, physics and chemistry in the same semester? Crikey. That's all the hard classes at once. They don't get any worse than that! If you can hack those, the rest is all downhill. :) I'm in a 30 credit program that encompasses lot of...

I'm working on an MS in general Biology. A second bachelor's, that's ambitious! :) How are you finding the classes so far?

What degree are you working on?

Yes and no. I agree that political issues prevent Trenton from becoming the amazing city it could be. I was there today, I brought a foreign colleague there to apply for a SS number and I was embarrassed at how they treated him at the SS office. Then we were approached by crackheads and other...

:rofl:

I love your photos. Lake Placid is indeed a fantastic area. It was nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of NJ for a while as I looked at these. :) That looks to me like a Bufo americanus, or American toad. I am certainly not a herpetologist by any stretch, so someone please correct me...

Holy moly, is that fantastic! I had no idea such places existed in VW. That's breathtaking. I see a trip in the Gremlin's future. Thanks so much for sharing these. Wow, I am blown away.

Water-seeking is part of the terminal stages of the disease.

oh, I see now. A lot of hard scientific evidence says otherwise. It's way beyond theory. I do understand the argument as to what's causing it and I respect your opinion of Al Gore. But have you seen a map of the polar ice cap recently?

Who's disputing that global warming is real?

Well, that report makes me feel a little better about it. The mortality rate is pretty low. That's good news.

This sounds like a really bad outbreak. :( Makes me want to work for the state insect control commission. I'd love to be able to work out the best way to control these damn midges.

Good to know. Mr. Gremlin is usually sleepless and miserable for a week after a day in the pines because of chigger bites. (he's a delicate flower). We'll give that one a try. Thanks for the tip.
