Sadly, there’s been a collision near the west gate which we’ve been told will keep outbound traffic lanes closed for 4-6hrs.

A single bat can eat up to 1,200 mosquito-sized insects every hour. #BatAppreciationDay

I've got my second Year in Review post up now. The New York Times has not called it "an urgent and indispensable examination of one man's journey to photograph multiple Thunderboxes" but they are welcome to if they want to. #algonquinipark allofalgonquin.com/2021/01/0…

It's what's for breakfast, lunch, and dinner: Bark, sticks, and twigs. During winter, #beaver visit their submerged food caches to retrieve fodder. These complex stick piles can be habitat for aquatic animals. Ever resourceful, leftovers can be used for lodge+dam renovations!

We are suspending daily rentals today due to deteriorating wind conditions. It possible things will open up once again later in the afternoon.
We’ve been blessed with an absolutely amazing display of colour so far this fall season. #fallcolors #algonquinpark @Algonquin_PP

We all know, as the weather gets colder squirrels start to cash food for winter. This includes mushrooms! In order to keep the mushrooms from going bad they will prop them up and dry them. Keeping them fresh all winter long! #MushroomMonth

Without a refrigerator, this Eastern #wolf🐺 stored a partial🦌 carcass in the bog, saving for some🍖 for later. The natural properties of the bog environment inhibit food spoilage! #NaturalHistory observation published in 2016: canadianfieldnaturalist.ca/i… 🎥Hugo Kitching
First Short-tailed Weasel in four years, and one of only a handful in nearly 70-years of small-mammal study in #AlgonquinPark! Outstanding find, @jsmveitch and team! Check this out @LTR_CSEE @wildlife_70 xitter.cf/jsmveitch/status/12971…
