February feels like a step forward to our next season, but we’ll still be as mired in winter or summer, depending on your hemisphere, at month’s end as we are right now. Corey enjoyed a long weekend in Narrowsburg, New York, along the Delaware River at the New York-Pennsylvania border. Learn to love it!

At 8, everything was far away, distant, and foreign, even Pennsylvania. We were going to make the long drive to far away Pennsylvania and stay in the cabin for a few precious, amazing days.

The shot below is of a first-fall female Cape May Warbler taken in Potter County, Pennsylvania, by Mike Bergin in September of 2009. Right now great flocks of wood-warblers are making their way north from the southern United States, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America to breed across the United States and Canada.

All of the former animal farmers come to the same conclusion: that what they were doing wasn't right. My experiences are unlike any of the film's subjects.
