Within a 10 Minute Walk to a Supermarket
If you don't own a car, there is only a few parts of Albany where you can walk a short distance to get to a supermarket.
Green areas are those within a 10 minute walk of a major supermarket -- Price Chopper, Hannaford, Tops, Shop-Rite, or Walmart.

Beaver Trapping Basics – Footholds.
Happy International Beaver Day.
"New York State's official mammal, the beaver is unmistakable due to its large body size (26-65 pounds, 25-35 inches) and broad flattened tail (9-10 inches long, 6 inches wide), not to mention the characteristically altered habitat in which it resides."
Albany Water Reservior Basins
Where the City of Albany gets it's water from -- the Alcove and Basic Reservoirs.
The Alcove Reservoir is not only a larger reservoir and basin, it also has much higher water quality due to land cover. The Basic Reservoir is connected to the Alcove Reservoir via pipeline and Silver Creek but used only occasionally due to lower water quality and quantity.
Muskrat
Spotted this butt of a muskrat in the pond. I had a better view but he was dipping under the water as I took this photo
