If EHD is suspected in any deer death or illness, DEC staffers encourage people to make reports so that they can have the carcasses examined and tissues tested for DNA to confirm the diagnosis and get an accurate picture of the disease’s impact on the population. External signs of EHD include fever, small hemorrhages or bruises in the mouth and nose of the deer (which is where the name “bluetongue” originates). Outbreaks of EHD are most common in the late summer and early fall, when midges are abundant. On average, most female bears in southern New York will be in dens by the end of November and males by mid-December.” “The only confirmed cases of EHD or bluetongue are from Dutchess, Rensselaer and Suffolk counties,” said DEC wildlife pathologist Kevin Hynes. It also creates swelling of the head, neck, tongue and lips, and infected deer appear lame or dehydrated. Weather is a big determinant in how quickly bears begin to den and how long they stay in their sleepy state, but so is the sex of the bear and the quantity of food sources available to it. With increasingly milder and warmer winters in the Hudson Valley due to global warming, it would not be unusual to observe bears out and about throughout the winter. Black bears (New York’s only bear species) are in the midst of what’s referred to by biologists as hyperphagia: a fancy way of saying “extreme eating,” whereby they forage robustly for massive quantities of food high in fat. According to the DEC, these litters include two to three cubs on average, which stay with the mother bear for approximately one-and-a-half years. “Time of denning fluctuates by sex and age of the animal and food availability,” said Hurst. “If acorns and beechnuts are abundant and snow comes late, bears may be active longer,” said Hurst.
