The snows of late December yielded to the thaw of early January around Ithaca, NY and the Finger Lakes region. Nowhere has it been more dramatically demonstrated that at roaring Ithaca Falls. We take a short video trip around the cataract from several perspectives to marvel at its power and beauty. Then we go for a walk on the Cayuga Waterfront Trail at Allan H. Treman State Marine Park in Ithaca along Cayuga Inlet and the ice-free shore of Cayuga Lake. And with the snow gone, we look into the gorge at Buttermilk Falls State Park.

But one has to be careful in the woods around Ithaca this January with the DEC's experimental Deer Management Focus Area in central Tompkins County, where hunting of "antlerless" deer will is permitted (with a permit) throughout the rest of the month. Special guest commentator, the backwoods curmudgeon philosopher Ichabod, sounds off about "Too Many Deer!"
