Critter of the Month - the purple finch
Though the males are colorful, purple may be an exaggeration for this lavender-pink colored finch that inhabits the coniferous and mixed forests of northern New York.

  • The bass are bitin'
    It's about this time of year that bass fishing may overtake that of just about every other fish species, at least in local waters.

  • Tackle, fishing license sales holding steady despite economy
    Annually, nearly 40 million anglers generate over $45 billion in retail sales with a $125 billion impact on the nation's economy, creating employment for more than a million people.

  • Bigger lake trout - are alewives the reason?
    Lake trout and Atlantic salmon now have a new and, at the present time, plentiful food source, even if it may be at the cost of losing a lot of rainbow smelt, or at least forcing the smelt to other locations in the lake.
    Vermont fisheries biologist Shawn Good, however, doesn't see the alewife, a small non-native baitfish, as a plus.

  • Mysterious cow kills in West Chazy create speculation
    I do believe that there are things out there that we may not have immediate answers for, but in the West Chazy case, at this stage, the evidence for a mountain lion as the killer is not there.

  • A feast for fish
    What is so different this year is that all of these hatches are emerging around the same time. This not only provides an abundance of food for the fish, but at the same time sometimes makes it difficult for the fisherman to figure out what the fish are taking.

  • Wolf or coyote? Genetics tell complicated tale
    The North Country coyote-wolf mix comes from a constantly evolving gene pool. There are no easy labels that can be put on these animals.

  • Memories of the 2009 turkey season
    Season was full of surprises for hunting columnist Dan Ladd.

  • DEC announces tentative waterfowl seasons
    Early announcement will allow hunters to plan trips.

  • Hiking the CATS - a mini adventure
    It was a morning hike, in and out the same way, with our goal to see a large, many-tiered beaver dam at the halfway point.

Environment
  • City opens Waterfront Park
    Several local and state dignitaries celebrated the opening of Waterfront Park near Plattsburgh Boat Basin Friday, praising the area's transformation from a busy rail yard to an expanded public-access site.
