    SFR Rattlesnake behavior

    Hirudinous Lake, 1 July 2022

    Recognized that body of water immediately. Had my last fly fishing trip with my father there and a new Orvis Battenkill I bought him for Father’s Day in 1966. Loved the narrative and the photos.

    SFR Squirrels (Thread of month contender)

    This one showed up two days ago. My Dr. Google consultation indicates hairlessness is likely caused by mange or genetic abnormality.
