A very friendly green sea turtle we saw while SCUBA diving at the Navy Barges off of St Thomas in August.

'Merica- Saw this Bald Eagle out scavenging up in the north country on this blustery Sunday just before the blizzard hit. Saturday it hit -22F and multiple days have been in the negatives so no open water around forcing eagles to scavenge. This eagle was on a frozen deer gut pile when I pulled up. It's a good reminder of why it's important to use non-lead ammunition while hunting so you don't cause lead poisoning in scavenging birds like Bald Eagles.

The hard part about den checks is getting the bears down from their tree dens and then even harder is getting them back up. But they really are nice little cozy homes.

I went out with our black bear biologist, Dave Wattles, during his annual winter den checks to continue the COVID sampling I was doing with deer throughout Mass. during the fall. I hope to continue through the winter as bears give us a unique way to test family groups with specific age classes.

I've spent the last few days on Nantucket over-seeing deer biological check, COVID-19 sampling for harvested deer, and looking at deer impacts across the islands. It is a truly amazing place. There is no other environment like it. I think it should be on the bucket list for every avid deer hunter. I hope to be back soon.

I was just noticing with my moose pictures yesterday how frequently my @peakdesign gear ends up in my photos. I'm not sponsored or anything like that, but while their gear is not intended for wildlife field work it works great for it.

The company was founded by another badger, @peterdering with other badgers like @adamcno also part of the team. I was a Kickstarter backer from the beginning and now their gear is always with me doing conservation work around North America.

Considering they also founded @beclimateneutral , I suspect they'd be pretty happy to see their gear used for conservation.

Done with my #peakdesign #bagbrag

We had to do a bull moose extraction from downtown Worcester a couple weeks ago. He was hit by car, but did not sustain any major injuries.

Once we had him safely moved to his new home in a state park, I took blood samples for health and disease monitoring.

It was a very smooth dart and transfer due to our collaboration and cooperation with Massachusetts Environmental Police, Worcester Police, and the Worcester Fire Dept.

Just a reminder do not ever attempt to approach a moose. We are trained professionals.

A green iguana 🦎 out with a bunch of its friends during our trip to St. Thomas. The rainbow colored scales around the mouth were so cool.

My first encounter with a moose as the @mass.wildlife Moose Biologist. A yearling cow.

A Willet; a juvenile Double-Crested Cormorant. A nesting Eider Duck, along with their covered and uncovered nests. The covering of their nests is so fluffy. Lastly some Roseate Tern nest shelters.

Some snapshots of American Oystercatchers I took while assisting our coastal waterbird biologists with the Common Tern and Roseate Tern annual censuses. I'll have some more photos from the census this week.

Snapping turtle moms digging holes to lay eggs.

I can't imagine how distracting it must be to have a dragon fly eating off you while trying to focus on laying a clutch of eggs.

This poor snapping turtle mom also had to deal with ants, flys, and crows that kept landing on her to see if the eggs were laid yet and ready to eat.

My first fawn capture for 2021. Fawn 151 was born at about 3pm this afternoon to mom 773.

Any capture at this point may be my last which is a bit surreal. After 6 years ~150 fawns and >500 deer captures, my @cornelluniversity PhD research at Fort Drum is coming to an end. It's been a ton of work and a childhood dream realized. I couldn't have done it without the help of so many.

A face only a mother could love. The turkey vulture is one of my favorite birds. Their ability to soar and catch wind currents is spectacular.

I was entertained for a few hours tonight watching a family of red fox with the kits coming out to play when they thought they weren't being watched.

Got to love when your campsite looks this beautiful. A nice solo night outing. 20 miles with Rimrock Loop - Morrison Loop - Rimrock Trail in the @alleghenynationalforest. One of our beautiful public lands.

Buck 750 on Sunday afternoon. He was our first orange collared buck. Now almost 4 years old.

I was in a bit of a nostalgic mood. These are deep throwbacks to my time in the BVI in 2008. All shot on my old Canon film slr with classic kodak film. The photos are incredibly without edits and show the natural beauty.

Sometimes I really miss that surprise of getting your photos back after developing and discovering the shots that worked out.

I've been going through some of our photos of study fawns for data analysis today. Both of these fawns survived well into adulthood.

I am working on an exam for my field bio students and am going back through my personal photo collections. These are some throwbacks to 2014 when I was working in Alberta, Canada of short-tailed weasels in their beautiful winter coats.

My favorite living project deer, doe 137, out with her fawns at sunset yesterday. I've know her since she was a baby fawn herself in 2018. She is always a bit defensive of her kids. She makes the funniest faces.

Lots of #wildlife out and about today as #fall sets in. We saw a beautiful melanistic grey squirrel, a Northern Flicker (my favorite bird), a striped skunk, an American Crow, many Wild Turkeys, and much more.

Every year it always shocks me how quickly the winter coats come in. Last week I still had some fuzzy fawns and chestnut adults. 5 days later after a cold few days they've all changed over to their darks.

A very curious short-tailed Weasel from Fort Drum. I was radio-tracking a deer Saturday night and this like guy followed me for 5 minutes climbing up and down trees to get a better look at me. It was very entertaining. He was quite friendly. Short-tailed weasels (Mustela erminea) are also known as ermines or stoats.

Doe 137 was out with her new family including fawn 145. I always like getting photos of them with military equipment behind them. It is a reminder that their home is Fort Drum.

Great hike today @letchworthstatepark with @carlaafeehan . We did about 11.4 miles. The park is nicknamed the grand canyon of New York. We were rained on heavily midway, but it was a great day.
