North Country explorer from Saranac, New York
Here at beautiful stone valley I stumbled upon numerous woodpecker holes in a white pine tree. While snowshoeing the moderate 7.8 mile trail, this was a good find. I was only upset that I didn't get to see any feathery friends around this tree. This scene caught my interest because I just thought how amazing it is that such a small animal could build themselves such a home, and it made me think of the winter adaptations that are needed by these animals for survival.
