In March 83 species were reported in this column, and in the first quarter of the year 121 species were reported.

Just about everyone knows a Canada goose by sight. Or so we think.

Ospreys are one of the eagerly anticipated spring sightings.

Signs of an early spring are heating up. Maybe the groundhog's prediction of an early spring will prove correct!

I was curious about how many species have been reported in this column so far this year.

Temperatures reached 50 degrees Farenheit on Feb. 10 and 11, so can spring be far behind?

Last week I wrote about great horned owls starting to nest even though it is mid-winter.

We have had below-freezing temperatures for close to a week as I write this on Jan. 21.

Where would you rather be, Florida or Massachusetts?

The shortest daylight was more than two weeks ago, with sunrise about three minutes later and sunset about 11 minutes earlier.
