The skinny on summer sun

Time to pull out the high-test sunscreen? For sure we need to take care of our skin and our eyes. However does being cautious mean avoiding sunshine altogether with total sunblocks? Absolutely not. Getting regular moderate exposure to sunshine gives a healthy complexion and glow and kills viruses, bacteria and fungus on skin. It can also help clear up skin conditions, stimulate appetite, better digestion and immunity, boost mood, improve sleep quality and. hormonal balance.

Can you recognize the local members of the grouse family?

There are four members of the grouse family occurring regularly in our region. The one most often seen is the Ruffed Grouse. We see this species more than the others, not because it is the most numerous, but because it prefers the lower elevations and the valley bottoms. The males of all grouse species have their own technique for attracting females. The Ruffed Grouse selects a small woodland opening and flaps its wings rapidly against its chest.
