Faithful readers of this blog may have noticed that there have not been any new posts for five months! The four persons who contributed to the 20 natural history posts to-date on this blog decided to contribute their blog writing time to other more established blogs. Brian McAllister's blogs may be found on the Adirondack Explorer (http://adirondackexplorer.org/notes-from-the-field/) and Adirondack Almanack (http://www.adirondackalmanack.com/) blog sites. Larry Master contributes on a biweekly basis to the Adirondack Almanack, Ellen Rathbone posts twice weekly on the Adirondack Almanack and much more frequently on her Adirondack Naturalist blog (http://adknaturalist.blogspot.com/), and Phil Brown blogs at the Adirondack Explorer (http://adirondackexplorer.org/out-takes/) as well as once a week on the Adirondack Almanack. Please visit these other blog sites as it is uncertain if and when the Adirondack Natural History blog will be re-activated. :(
