I'm still planning to run my trip tomorrow as long as conditions aren't too bad to get there. If things get bad overnight I'll post in the morning. And,...
It's still snowing and conditions don't look very good. I think that even if it clears up enough to see and drive, the path will be too icy. Hopefully next...

Birders: At Hills Pond, Menotomy Rocks Park, there was ice enough to skate, 6 inches thick where you could see a crack. Hearing a trill by the pond I looked...

Hurray! Maybe it will stay here a while now. Does it make sense, that now that it has come here, it will not turn around and go back to higher ground just...
After the wild wind and rain today (wow - wasn't it amazing?), I had a visitor blow into our hemlocks and then stay perched in a hickory for about 20 minutes,...

I went over to the reservoir today hoping that the ice had melted with all this warm weather that we have been having. It had melted but there were only...
Thanks, John. I think you've hit on exactly my experience -- I see a bird in the trees, it looks like a downy, then it flits over to the suet feeder and into...
I edited up a few photos of today's saw-whet. While I've seen a saw-whet "produce" a pellet and go back to sleep in the past, this is the first saw-whet that...
