Deer Language - Claiborne Progress (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Published 10:55 am Monday, September 28, 2026 By Steve Roark/Cumberland Gap National Park Deer are social creatures and so there is a need to communicate with one another. Sometimes it’s one on one trash talk, while other times it’s an alarm to an entire group. There are several ways a deer communicates that it is alarmed about something. Stamping one hoof several times shows mild alarm. Next it may snort, which sounds like someone blowing their nose very hard, and has a high pitch sound. Lastly

Published 10:34 am Monday, August 17, 2026 By Steve Roark/Cumberland Gap National Park No one can deny that we humans like to see nature.

Dog days, a hot topic - Claiborne Progress (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Published 10:26 am Monday, July 13, 2026 By Steve Roark/Cumberland Gap National Park I’d heard of Dog Days all my life but only knew that it referred to the sweltering heat of late summer when dogs laid around more and were prone to go mad (with rabies). I had a request from a reader to write on the subject in more depth, so if you’re curious as well, read on. According to Webster, Dog Days are defined as the period between July and early September when the hot, sultry summer weather usually occ
