The #pollution is so bad some researchers have identified the region as one of the nation’s #PFAS hot spots. Today, the consequences can be found everywhere. PFAS, often called #ForeverChemicals because they can take decades or more to break down, are in the #water & the #soil.
They’re in the dust on floors where #children crawl, the local #fish & #wildlife, & as ongoing research has shown, the #people.

Three years ago I turned a corner on a hiking path and was utterly delighted to see this groundhog standing on its back legs. We quietly startled each other then went our separate ways.

I put the spare #CameraTrapping #TrailCamera onto the potting shed near the house, as I has suspicions that 'someone' was using the area underneath. The 'someone' was/were 2 #Endangered Eastern Quolls, 1 being the beautiful dark morph.

One of the Bald Eagles I spotted earlier this week at a large gathering of eagles. Based on my bird book, this eagle is in its fourth year.
Un des pygargues à tête blanche que j'ai vu plus tôt cette semaine à un grand rassemblement d'aigles. Selon mon livre sur les oiseaux, ce pygargue est dans sa quatrième année.
