On the top shelf - Osprey in charge You can't be any more on the top than this Osprey was on the river in Connecticut. He was way up on top of the sign while watching the water for any passing fish. It was a perfect location for an Osprey and you'll notice her nest … Continue reading OSPREY AT THE TOP: DAY 1 – By GARRY ARMSTRONG

SPRING HAS SPRUNG, THE GRASS HAS RIZ – Marilyn Armstrong
BUT I KNOW WHERE THE FLOWERS IS ... Today is the day. The very first day of Spring 2020. The technical beginning of spring, though having not had much of a winter, it's been fairly springlike since last December. The birdies are blooming in breeding colors.

DAY OF THE RED FINCHES – Marilyn Armstrong
For the past month, the Goldfinches have dominated the feeders out on the deck. As soon as the squirrels leave in the morning, the Goldfinches show up. Dozens of them and although they let some larger birds share in the bounty, it's pretty hard to find a place to perch when all the feeders are … Continue reading DAY OF THE RED FINCHES – Marilyn Armstrong
