Visitors to the Kinter Farm Maple Sugar program get to see the entire process from collecting the sap to boiling it down to the sweet finished maple syrup.
Two of many wood frogs we came across in a local pond. The wood frogs arrived at this pond to breed about three weeks earlier in 2016 than in previous years.
The sperm deposits of the male Spotted Salamander remind us of tiny volcanoes. The deposits, known as spermatophores, are left by the male in hopes that a female will be enticed to use them to fertilize her eggs. These one we temporarily removed from the water to get a better photo. Sometimes the males will lay spermatophores on top of others to try and beat out the competition.
