Somes Meynell Wildlife Sanctuary
The Somes-Meynell Wildlife Sanctuary is dedicated to conservation, research, and education in the Somes Pond-Long Pond watershed and beyond
No public walk this week or next, but I hope we can have the next one December 31st or January 1st or 2nd. Maybe we'll have some more snow by then for animal tracking practice.
A reminder about the loon talk that I'll be doing via Zoom tomorrow evening from 7:00-8:00, hosted by the Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation. I think you have to sign up by 5:00 today and it does cost $10 (to help support their work). As long as you sign up, you can get a link to watch it later if you're not available tomorrow.
Photo here of the former Echo Lake South territory female, "Lily" on April 15th, 2021 when she was not quite in full breeding plumage yet after just returning to the lake after the ice had gone out. A strange appearance with the white feathers on her head. Her ID leg bands are clearly visible through the water. We have had sporadic sightings of Lily over the past few years, including late this summer - glad she is still alive.

Images from around the watershed over the past (mostly) very cold week, including last Friday morning when 7 intrepid walkers joined us at the Sanctuary.
