A major lunar standstill is about to occur. The phenomenon happens every 18.6 years when the moon rises and sets at its most extreme points on the horizon, while also climbing to its highest and lowest point in the sky.

From my friend Bob Peters: Just in case you ever wanted to know how the alligator does it. 😀
Alligators mate in the spring, typically from April to July. Males perform a series of displays to attract females, including loud bellows, body vibrations, and head and tail slapping. Once a male and female have paired, they will mate in the water.
Here's a brief overview of the alligator mating process:
1. Courtship: Males perform displays to attract females and establish dominance.
2. Pairing: A male and female pair up and mate in the water.
3. Mating: The male mounts the female and inserts his tail into her cloaca (reproductive opening).
4. Egg fertilization: The male's s***m fertilizes the female's eggs internally.
5. Nesting: The female builds a nest and lays her eggs (usually around 50) in late summer.
6. Incubation: The eggs incubate for about 65 days, with the s*x of the hatchlings determined by the temperature of the nest.
7. Hatching: The female helps the hatchlings escape the nest, and they head to the water.
It's worth noting that alligators are polygynous, which means males may mate with multiple females during a breeding season. http://www.adirondackmountainsrealestate.com/aransas1.html😀

We've had a fisher visiting our trail cam this week: http://www.adirondackwildlife.org/Fisher.html

Coywolf at the Adirondack Wildlife Refuge trail camera last night.

In honor of Pippin, here is a wild red fox on the Wildlife Refuge trail camera last night.

A Yorkshire Hog died, and we placed the carcass in the woods at the Adirondack Wildlife Refuge, where it was discovered by these coywolves.

A Yorkshire hog died, and we placed the carcass in the woods at the Adirondack Wildlife Refuge in the path of our trail cam, which was discovered by a pair of coywolves:

Come see and learn all about Eurasian eagle owls from Wendy at the Adirondack Wildlife Refuge. Video by Jack Zagar. More information on Eurasian Eagle Owls at http://www.adirondackwildlife.org/Eurasian-EagleOwl.html

Artemis, our Northern Goshawk, from Russian lineage catching his meal in flight. In the wild this raptor feeds on smaller birds and mammals. With blinding speed they use their sharp talons to catch prey and use a kneading motion to end the struggle.

Learn more about our educational porcupine Schmendrick during this educational video. Correction: porcupines are herbivores, not omnivores.

Meet Artemis, our Northern Goshawk, from Russian lineage. Watch in slow motion as Artemis captures a mid day snack with speed and grace. Artemis is a falconer's dream and eats very well from the glove. Some interesting facts about Goshawks: They belong to the family of eagles. Some reaching almost 5 lbs. These birds of prey mate for life and females will aggressively attack any creature that threatens their chicks. Goshawks are diurnal, meaning active during the day. In the wild Goshawks can reach the age of 20. Their diet consists of smaller mammals, birds, reptiles, and insects. They are one of the few birds of prey fast and persistent enough to catch crows.

Our youngest son Alex, a medic with the Vermont National Guard, is one of the key people at Adirondack Wildlife. He's currently working with the Guard at the Univ. of Vermont. We don't know when exactly he'll be back at the Refuge, but he forwarded this message for followers of the Refuge.

Luvey tries to get Ahote in the Spirit.... lovely afternoon in the Adirondacks... Spring is here!

#tbt to Ozzy coming in for a meal. Owls are ambush predators, and their wing and feather structures make their flight almost completely silent. This means that when an owl dives onto its prey, the animal doesn’t hear them until it’s too late. #barnowl #owl #throwback #throwbackthursday #adirondackwildliferefuge #awr #adk

Porcupines enjoy summer too!!!
Porcupines enjoy summer too!!!

During warmer weather, porcupines often live near farmers fields and apple orchards. Being herbivores, they enjoy a variety of fruits and vegetables. They also love nuts as well. As you can see, Schmendrake enjoys corn on the cob just as much as we do! Take a close look at those claws, those are used for climbing as they live most of their lives up in trees. How many quills do you think he has on that body? Up to 30,000!!!!!!! Can you guess who the porcupine's closest relative is??? The beaver!!! They are both rodents and the beaver is only slightly bigger. Like all rodents they have pronounced front teeth or incisors that grow continuously throughout their lives. Stay tuned for some live streaming videos of Schmendrake and our other wildlife ambassadors soon!!!!
