This is Ticklish Rock, a 30 ton boulder balanced on a thin column of rocks. It was shaped by thousands of years of wind and water erosion. This is in Sullivan County, near Eagles Mere, Pa. It is locally famous and many people hike about 1/2 mile through the forest to see it each year. > Bud Andrews

Snow Geese at Sunrise > This showed up in my memories today! Last year I was out in the bitter cold capturing these beautiful geese! If you’ve never experienced their takeoffs, it’s such a delight to witness! It’s so loud and crazy and beautiful! @ Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area. > Sherry Culbert

"Out of Town Guest"> Was photographing some other birds today in my yard located in Westmoreland County (Jan 21st, 2024) when I heard some rustling around in my apple tree. I look over and see this Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. According to E-Bird they mostly migrate South in the winter. Not sure why this one is still hanging around., I think it's a female. Just glad to see she's healthy and got some sap from my apple tree. > Judi Carvell
