Anyone who spends times on the lakes and cabins around the Adirondacks gets enjoyment from the unique sounds put forth by the Loons. Their frolicking and splashing in the water is sure to be a better stress reliever than any prescription medication or massage. Our Wildlife Photographer, William Straite, shared some picturesque shots of the birds at play.
Just like any art form or hobby, sometimes the ideas just aren’t flowing. The words to a song don’t magically happen, the golf ball goes where it wants not where you aimed, and in the case of photography, wildlife doesn’t appear. William has captured the birth and first flight of the twin eagles, the Osprey’s battle for the nest, and the baby loons on Raquette Lake.

Think of a sunny, crisp winter day. Youâre outdoors, skiing or snowshoeing or simply hiking over snowy open fields and through sun-dappled forests. All you hear is the
swish swish of your cross-country skis or the crunch of snow beneath your shoes. Thereâs beauty and solace here.
