My apologies to those whose knowledge of the fierce territoriality of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds might make the above scene a perplexing distortion of reality. Rarely will the local male allow birds others than his mate to use a food source in his territory, so a feeding flock like this is impossible, and has a biolog...

Since the first image of this garden was made on July 10 (www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=28793), my efforts here have been applied mostly to weeding, mulching, and eating. Normally we would be entering the most delightful three month season of fresh produce, but this year the late blight (www.nytime

This vegetable garden is in the well-drained sandy loam of a 13,000 year old ice-contact alluvial fan. Soil fertility is enhanced by tilling under 30 cm of tree leaves each autumn, and several cm of composted cow manure each spring. During the growing season, beds are mulched with compost and old hay. Most of the pr...

The town of Addison is the flattest and the most fertile part of Vermont. The plain extending west to Lake Champlain was the bottom of a glacial lake and post-glacial estuary from 14,000 to 11,000 years ago. The clayey sediments are more than 30m deep in places. The soils are slow to dry and require powerful equipmen...

Our camp straddled an esker that separates this classic Adirondack valley bog from Little Tupper Lake, NY. There are probably a few meters of peat under the surface here. The bog supports larch (Larix laricina), Labrador tea (Ledum groenlandicum), bog rosemary (Andromeda polifolia), leatherleaf (Chamaedaphne calycula...

View of Little Tupper Lake at dusk from our weekend campsite in the Adirondack Mountains. The lake is home to one of the half dozen or so remaining strains of native brook trout in New York. Until a few years ago, no non-native predatory fish had been introduced here. Largemouth bass are now present, and the long-ter...

Cabin Bluff, along the Tanana River near Big Delta, Alaska, is one of many south-facing steep slopes which support an unusual steppe community dominated by sagebrush and grasses. The absence of trees is assumed to be a result of severe droughty conditions. This community is considered to be a modern analog for the wi...
