Attention photographers! The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Bureau of Wildlife is asking for your photographs.

The photos will be used in reports, social media, posters, DEC's website, and more. While you're out hiking, walking, kayaking, or whatever you like to do, keep your camera close and be ready to snap a few shots if any wildlife presents itself.

If you sit outside quietly for an hour, you might be surprised at what kinds of critters visit your own backyard! [DEC]
