Wild Newton: Houghton Gardens: The Warbler Rest Stop
http://wildnewton.blogspot.com/2014/05/houghton-gardens-warbler-rest-stop.html
A blog about the birds, birders, and conservation lands of Newton Massachusetts. Tuesday, May 20, 2014. Houghton Gardens: The Warbler Rest Stop. Sorry for this late post, things have been busy. At the end of last week, I stopped by Houghton Gardens and Hammond Pond. I have always though that Houghton Gardens would be a great place for warblers, so when I read a report from Marygrace that included a Prairie Warbler, I figure this was be a great time to see Houghton Garden’s Potential. And a Yellow Warbler.

Wild Newton: Shorebirds and a Surprise at Belle Isle Marsh
http://wildnewton.blogspot.com/2014/05/shorebirds-and-surprise-at-belle-isle.html
A blog about the birds, birders, and conservation lands of Newton Massachusetts. Wednesday, May 28, 2014. Shorebirds and a Surprise at Belle Isle Marsh. I headed out to Belle Isle Marsh. One of the first finds was a female American Redstart. Who was singing, which I wasn't expecting. When I got out towards the marsh, the bright white Snowy Egrets were easy to pick out, but then more movement became evident and revealed Black-bellied Plovers. With large amounts of white in their wings. I usually think of ...

A blog about the birds, birders, and conservation lands of Newton Massachusetts. Friday, August 1, 2014. Osprey Over Hammond Pond. Last weekend while running errands in Chestnut Hill, I decided to check out Hammond Pond. Without my main camera) and see if there were any shorebirds around the pond. I was not disappointed as I quickly found some very vocal and active Spotted Sandpipers. That could be seen in the shallows around the pond. Up in the trees an Eastern Kingbird.

The Tangled Wood: Winter Garden Secrets
http://tangledwood-sue.blogspot.com/2015/01/winter-garden-secrets.html
Thursday, January 1, 2015. Fine Hair Moss ( Dicranella heteromalla. The winter garden reveals many secrets. The absence of green leafiness uncovers nests made in warmer times. From my kitchen window I view winter denizens, bird and squirrel, as they come out of shelter to visit the birdfeeder. Mosses stand out along the woodland path. I took a few strands inside and placed them in a saucer of water as an attempt to identify their species. Fine hair moss ( Dicranella heteromalla. Labels: fine hair moss.

The Tangled Wood: Say No to Winter Blues
http://tangledwood-sue.blogspot.com/2015/02/say-no-to-winter-blues.html
Sunday, February 15, 2015. Say No to Winter Blues. Trees and shrubs aid my mood as well. The ailing dogwood tree provides a strategic perch. Its hollows provide shelter and a pounding board for birds to crack open sunflower husks. Bare branches show off the true architecture of a tree and they are also places to monitor the swelling buds of spring. Tree trunks reflect the glow of the setting sun, which I notice goes down later every evening. Labels: Great Backyard Bird Count. Follow me on Facebook.
