In Our Backyard #155

Albany, NY – We are going to start off the conversation by talking about New York State's official mammal - The Beaver. What are they up to during these mid-spring days and why are we seeing so many dead alongside the road? We have a letter about this and Joe has a story. Ward will answer your letters on other items as well - Questions about black whitetail deer, fox problems in Kingsbury, NY. Joe will ask the question that is on everyone's mind this week - why is it so darn buggy out and how are we supposed to enjoy nature if we are getting eaten alive?
