🦢 CREATURE FEATURE! In this special 💕 Valentine's edition, we’re highlighting animals that form lasting bonds! 🦦 From playful river otters to mute swans and red foxes, these fur-ever pairs play crucial roles in New Jersey's ecosystem. Discover more at 👉 lakehopatcongfoundation.org (link in bio). 🦊 Red Fox – Often monogamous, but in areas with many foxes, males may mate with multiple females who raise their litters together. Foxes use Earth’s magnetic field to hunt, pinpointing prey with astonishing accuracy! 🧭 🦅 Black Vulture – Loyal partners often stay together for years, raising chicks as a team. But what makes them stand out? They reunite with past offspring, forming close-knit family groups that even help one another find food! 🖤 🦉 Barn Owl – Silent hunters with heart-shaped faces, these owls typically mate for life. Males perform an aerial "moth flight" to impress females, and their asymmetrical ears allow them to hear prey with pinpoint accuracy—even in total darkness. 🌙 🦦 River Otter – Playful and social, otters often form strong pairs to raise their young together. But here’s a twist: females sometimes evict the male after birth, keeping him away for weeks! Scientists aren’t sure why. 🤷‍♂️ 🦢 Mute Swan – A romantic symbol, these swans usually stay together for life, working as a team to build massive 5-foot nests. But don’t let their beauty fool you—they’re fiercely territorial and an invasive species in North America, outcompeting native wildlife. 🌿 #CreatureFeature #LakeHopatcongWildlife #FureverTogether #HappyValentinesDay Discover more at 👉 lakehopatcongfoundation.org created by Lake Hopatcong Foundation with Nat King Cole’s L-O-V-E

🐦 CREATURE FEATURE! This month, we’re highlighting some feathered friends who overwinter in New Jersey! From the iconic cardinal to the tufted titmouse and the downy woodpecker, these critters play crucial roles in our ecosystem. Dark-Eyed Junco – These small, dark-eyed birds with white-flashing tails forage for seeds and often return to the same wintering spots year after year. Some even live over a decade! White-Breasted Nuthatch – Watch them move headfirst down tree trunks! These resourceful birds stash food in bark crevices for winter and stay close to their mates year-round. Tufted Titmouse – Sporting a stylish mohawk, these birds cache seeds and use old woodpecker holes for nests. Their “peter-peter-peter” call is easy to recognize! Northern Cardinal – A pop of red in the snow! Unlike most songbirds, female cardinals sing, often communicating with their mates while nesting. Downy Woodpecker – Often heard drumming on trees, these small woodpeckers use dead trees for nesting and forage quietly for insects in bark crevices.

🌍💧 Did you know Lake Hopatcong is part of a system of watersheds that connect all the way to the Atlantic Ocean? Watersheds collect rainwater and snowmelt, funneling it into streams, rivers, lakes, and oceans. Along the way, this water can carry litter, fertilizers, road pollutants, or even the hat you lost while boating! Simple actions like recycling, reducing pollutants, and planting native gardens can help keep Lake Hopatcong and our waterways clean and thriving. Learn more about watersheds and how they connect us all at lakehopatcongfoundation.org and look for "The Ripple Effect: How Watersheds Connect Us All" in our news section. 🌱💙 #WorldEnvironmentalEducationDay #LakeHopatcong #ProtectOurWaters created by Lake Hopatcong Foundation with Ram Dass & AWARÉ’s The Water Poem

🐻CREATURE FEATURE! This month, we’re highlighting animals around Lake Hopatcong that hibernate—or at least what most people think of as hibernation!🦇#CreatureFeature #Hibernation #LakeHopatcong The groundhog, otherwise known as a woodchuck, is a very common animal to spot in the spring, summer, and even fall months. But as winter approaches, these rodents dig extensive burrows to create a cozy den where they can sleep for the colder winter months. Groundhogs enter true hibernation, significantly lowering their heart rate and body temperature to as low as 38°F to conserve energy. The little brown bat is another true hibernator, spending the winter months in caves, mines, or other dark, humid locations. These bats enter a deep state of hibernation, drastically reducing their metabolic rate and heart rate to conserve energy. The wood frog is one of New Jersey’s most remarkable winter survivors, capable of surviving partial freezing! Unlike typical hibernators, wood frogs enter a state of brumation, allowing their bodies to freeze and thaw with changing temperatures. Unlike hibernation, brumation enables these cold-blooded amphibians to wake on warmer days to feed, drink, or sunbathe. the eastern box turtle can enter a state of brumation, similar to the wood frog. As they burrow into the ground or under leaf litter, they start to become less active, and their metabolism slows. Unlike the mammalian hibernators, they can wake up during warmer winter days if necessary, making them quite adaptable to changing temperatures. Though black bears are often associated with hibernation, black bears actually enter a state called torpor, which allows them to wake more easily if disturbed. As temperatures drop, black bears find a den, often in hollow trees or caves, where they settle in for the winter. Pregnant females will usually give birth near the end of this time (between late December and early February) and nurse their cubs in the safety of the den.

🐰CREATURE FEATURE! This month, we're spotlighting some small mammals that live around Lake Hopatcong! 🦝 From minks to opossums to the odiferous skunk, these critters play crucial roles in our ecosystem. Discover more at 👉 lakehopatcongfoundation.org/news/creature-feature-petite-paw-parade The American mink is one of the more elusive members on our roster for this issue (unless you live on Halsey Island). Sharing the same family (Mustelidae) as otters, skunks, fishers, and weasels, they have a similar appearance of a long slender body and a crepuscular schedule. As fast as they are cute, the eastern cottontail rabbit is a common sight to New Jersey residents. With their distinctive cottonball-esque tail, tall ears, and large back feet, they embody the standard look of what one thinks of when they think rabbit. From head to tail, the eastern cottontail can range from 14 to 19 inches long and can weigh around 2.6 pounds. The raccoon, another well-known resident of New Jersey, has earned many nicknames for its unique characteristics and behaviors. Recognizable by its distinctive bushy, striped tail, fluffy gray body, and a black and white masked face, and dexterous hands. These hands, combined with a heightened sense of touch, are more similar to those of primates. You (or your nose) might have a strong opinion about the next critter in our spotlight. The striped skunk holds the notorious reputation of being the smelliest animal you can encounter in New Jersey. Cloaked in dark fur with two white stripes running along its body, it’s unmistakable. Skunks have glands under their tails that produce a foul-smelling, oily liquid, which they can spray up to 10 feet to ward off threats. When most people think of the Virginia opossum, they picture its Academy Award-worthy act of playing dead to deter predators. In reality, this behavior is actually involuntary, similar to a fainting goat. When threatened, the stress causes the opossum to go into shock, forcing it into a catatonic state where it appears dead. #CreatureFeature #LakeHopatcongWildlife #petitepawparade created by Lake Hopatcong Foundation with AlexRockBeat’s Happy

Have you seen foam on the lake❓ Is it harmful or harmless❓🕵 Find out more below from Princeton Hydro’s Fred Lubnow! Foam on the water can result from natural processes in the environment AND/OR human-related discharges like detergents. Either way, people and pets should avoid direct contact since the foam can concentrate microbial (bacteria/viruses) and chemical pollutants. Natural foams will develop where there is abundant decomposing plant material. The foam may look white at first, but it will usually turn tan or brownish in color and may have an earthy or organic odor. In contrast, human-produced foams can be the result of spills, discharges, or runoff that is contaminated with cleaning agents, detergents, nutrients, firefighting foams, oils, de-icing products, or other chemical contaminants. Such foams will tend to be only white in color and will either have no odor or may smell pleasant. It is also possible that the foam is being generated from both natural and human-produced sources. If you’re unsure whether it’s naturally occurring or due to chemical pollutants, take a photo, record the location along with the date and time, and report it to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. Non-emergency environmental concerns can be submitted via the WARN NJDEP app (available on iTunes and Google Play), while environmental emergencies should be reported immediately by calling 1-877-WARNDEP (1-877-927-6337).

🌾Blooming in our native gardens this week... shrubby St. John’s wort, Garden phlox, and narrow-leaved mountain mint! Shrubby St. John’s wort has bright yellow flowers with prominent stamens that create a sunburst effect, attracting pollinators and providing a nectar source for bees and butterflies. Garden phlox has deep green foliage and conical clusters of fragrant flowers. We have both white and pink phlox blooming in our gardens. Garden phlox grows to a height of 2 to 4 feet and thrives in full sun to partial shade. Narrow-leaved mountain mint is a perennial herb with clusters of small, delicate flowers, which are a magnet for pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. Native Americans used mountain mint to treat headaches, fevers, and digestive issues. We invite you to visit our native plant gardens at 125 Landing Road, Landing, NJ, to see these buzzworthy blooms firsthand.

🦅 CREATURE FEATURE! This month, we're spotlighting some bird species found on Lake Hopatcong, specifically our fish-eating friends. From those you may see multiple times a day to those you might only spot with a seasoned eye and trusty binoculars, we hope you learn something new about our native avian friends at 👉 lakehopatcongfoundation.org/news/creature-feature-feathered-fishermen Like... Double-crested cormorants are exceptional fish hunters, able to dive down 25 feet for about 70 seconds at a time. If you’ve ever seen something in the lake that looks like something akin to the Loch Ness Monster, it was probably a cormorant. After diving, these birds need to dry out their wings before they can take off, resulting in the iconic spread wing posture you can typically see, as they do not have water-proof feathers like other birds of this nature. Although this may seem like an evolutionary mishap, it is a beneficial adaptation that allows them to dive more efficiently by waterlogging their feathers. 📸 Jessica Williams The great blue heron boasts a long neck, beak, legs, and wingspan that set it apart from other birds. As North America's largest heron species, it can span up to 6.5 feet, yet weighs only around 8 pounds at its heaviest. Considered by some to be an indicator species, these birds can often give a warning as to when water quality is beginning to degrade. Without healthy prey available to feed on, the Great Blue Heron will relocate to a different area where they can more easily find prey. 📸 Bob Kays The bald eagle demands attention with its awe-inspiring presence. Now seen relatively commonly on Lake Hopatcong, this was not always the case. After a losing bout with a widely used chemical called DDT, the population of bald eagles in New Jersey went down to only a single pair by 1970. With legislation changes, DDT bans in 1972, and restoration efforts by the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife’s Endangered and Nongame Species Program, we now see 146 nesting pairs in New Jersey alone. We are honored to see that two of these pairs call Lake Hopatcong their home. 📸Kathy Kresnosky More at lakehopatcongfoundation.org! #birdsoflakehopatcong #fisheatingbirds #birds #lakehopatcong #creaturefeature #greatblueheron #baldeagle #beltedkingfisher #osprey #doublecrestedcormorant created by Lake Hopatcong Foundation with James Quinn’s Bluebird
