December 19, 2020, Eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) This squirrel is eating (I think) a black walnut, sitting in a tree outside my office window. In the wild, these animals are essential for regenerating forests, but in populated areas, they are often considered as an invasive species that displace other squirrel species and can take over bird feeders, for example. |

This graph of barometric pressure recorded during Hurricane Irene in 2011 and "super storm" Sandy in 2012 dramatically illustrates the passage of these storms through our area. Many sites, including a small airport site near IESRE were not operational during the height of Sandy. Amazingly, we did not lose electrical power during either of these storms even though both storms resulted in widespread power losses – millions of people throughout the northeast lost power during Sandy. | ![]() |
