Fish from New York State fresh waters were surveyed for total cadmium. The majority of samples contained 20 ppb or below. The remainder showed concentrations up to 100 ppb with only few above this concentration. Fishes from central New York waters rarely contained cadmium greater than 20 ppb. Fish from Adirondack waters contained cadmium above 20 ppb most consistently. These higher concentrations may be related to generally higher background cadmium levels in this Adirondack area where many metallic ore deposits are located with which cadmium is typically associated. Cadmium accumulation only occasionally appeared species-dependent. No relation was obvious between total residues of the metal and size or sex of fish or age of lake trout. The cadmium concentrations observed are comparable to those commonly present in many other foods.

Lake Site

A trench excavated into the waterlogged fringe of the Lamoka Lake site in central New York state yielded cultural stratigraphic zones with abundant artifacts and food remains. A peaty layer resting upon Late Archaic beach or streamside deposits produced late Middle Woodland (Kipp Island phase) ceramics and stone implements. Discoveries of wood, fruit pits, and nuts in the same layer as well as rich congeries of animal bones indicate that the archaeological potential of the Lamoka Lake site is not exhausted.

This chapter narrates the author's first island-hopping trip to Bleaker Island, wherein she hoped to see at least two penguin species, the steamer duck, and maybe a black-necked swan. There are no trees on Bleaker — which is true throughout most of the Falklands — and a large rocky hill covers about half of the small island. Because the author hails from the land of trees in central New York State, the sheer openness of the landscape felt raw and exposed. The author then describes the skuas. These are huge, predatory birds that look like ubergulls. They are the bird bullies of the islands — harassing other birds to drop their food, attacking and devouring young birds, and swooping and diving on anything they do not like, including people.

James Fenimore Cooper was reared in Cooperstown, a central New York State community founded by his father after a large land purchase in what was then the frontier. The area is now categorized as part of Northern Appalachia. Cooper is best known for the five novels in his “Leatherstocking Tales” series, which explore life on the American frontier....
