If you are visiting Cook Forest soon, this is a great time to see eagles since most of the leaves are down. This pair of juveniles were at the Cook Forest Canoe Launch (4-mile). Signed, Mr. Pale Whale

Good morning! Here are a few snowy shots from yesterday. It was snowing just hard enough to make it difficult to get decent pictures. However, we spotted a couple female hooded mergansers in a flock of common mergansers in the picnic area along with about five female buffleheads across the river from our dock so we thought we would share. Have a wonderful day! Signed, Mr. Pale Whale

Apparently this event is already full due to COVID restrictions. Our sincerest apologies if it upset anyone that we shared the post. It was not our post originally and we were just trying to be helpful getting the word out as we often do. This is a PA DCNR event, so we have no way to know what their registration status. Please let us know if you would prefer for us not to share this kind of information in the comments section below and we will discontinue unless we are directly involved.

Happy Friday! Here's something we've never got a shot of before ... a northern short-tailed shrew. There are all sorts of critters in Cook Forest both great and small so keep an eye out as you enjoy your time here. Signed, Mr. Pale Whale

Good morning Cook Forest! The red squirrel in this picture was not happy about the gray squirrel sharing his white pine. Be sure to take a little time to sit still and enjoy nature when you are visiting the forest. Signed, Mr. Pale Whale
