Winter Wildlife Tracking on Saturdays in January at The Wild Center! Each Saturday from about 2:30pm-4pm. Gather in the Great Hall. Hit the trails from there. Learn about moose tracks, discover nature’s stories from tracks left in the snow by a variety of wild neighbors, and try your skill at writing a simple wildlife tracking poem that you can take home, with naturalist educator Rich Hanlon. Mark your calendars. Hope to see you there!

This is shoulder season birding at its finest! Feeling thankful to spend time with one of my favorite feathered neighbors in the northern Adirondacks. It really is a marvel how wondrously adapted woodpeckers like this black-backed woodpecker are to the arboreal life; prop of a tail, toes like grappler hooks, beak like a chisel, and that’s not all! Don’t you just love how the black-backed woodpecker’s plumage blends so well among the shadows in our enchanted coniferous forest understory?

There's still time to get an outing in before the snow flies, and it's not too early to begin planning ahead for a High Peaks birding adventure between May and October 2026.

Discover the adventure of the High Peaks with a seasoned naturalist and Adirondack 46r who has hiked the trails and is well acquainted with the birds and other wildlife who reside there.

Experiencing new-to-you birds, plants, and other wildlife is a great addition to the journey of becoming a 46r! Most Adirondack High Peaks can be planned as a single full-day outing. Overnight backpacking trips can be especially rewarding and are limited to 7 participants per group.

Full-day outings into the High Peaks Region are $250 per participant (special group rates may apply). Overnight backpacking outings into the High Peaks Region are $500 per day for each participant (special group rates may apply).

On September 30th a black-capped chickadee perched on one of the suet cages that’s been empty since late April as if to say “it’s time to open the Adk Bird Buffet for the season!” I promptly complied. During the past week or so we have been visited by black-capped chickadees, blue jays, and this Canada jay who has made a number of appearances today, caching lumps of suet high among the spruce branches to save food for later. With the boreal finch forecast being what it is, the excitement is just beginning at the AdkBird Buffet!

What a fantastic three day backpacking trip in collaboration with bewilderpgh and John Creasy. We explored nature’s connections while hiking two of New York’s highest mountains, Marcy and Algonquin. We camped at Feldspar Brook and Lake Colden. We also made a visit to Lake Arnold. We enjoyed close encounters with curious boreal chickadees and a Bicknell’s thrush content to pluck mountain ash berries right off the tree while we looked on from about twenty yards. The uniquely adapted plants and lichens of the alpine tundra zone included worm lichen, diapensia, deer hair sedge, and more! While we were there flocks of American pipits foraged about the anorthosite boulders and low growing vegetation. It was a challenging, satisfying, and transformational experience for all. Now we are in the mountains and the mountains are in us.

Why should birders visiting the Adirondacks consider hiking a high peak? Every high peak I’ve hiked the past several months has presented me with boreal chickadee encounters like this one. Hard to find in the lowlands, but if physically able, put in the effort and they’ll come right out to the trail to inspect you out of chickadee curiosity! Looking for a guided birding experience this fall? Wild Neighbors Nature Connection is ready to facilitate your experience.

Introducing, la marmota (a.k.a. the groundhog). In the mission of helping people to experience transformational connection with nature’s community, my friend wants to help Wild Neighbors Nature Connection to reach a broader audience. How do you like our collaboration for this short video?
