Description:

Quite a few entries statewide and from Massachusetts so far.One of my highlights was this Carolina Wren... When I bought my first pair of Vortex binoculars (from their Eagle Optics line) more than a decade ago, I was attracted in part to their lifetime warranty.Recently, I brought the pair back to Wild Birds Unlimited to see if I might be able to replace the rubber eye guards that had fallen off. Scott Gunther of WBU said the binoculars were still under warranty and that he d send them in for repair.Just got them back, refurbished at no cost. they are like new. (Thanks, Vortex!) Saw this guy this morning in the Celery Farm up by the new bridge. I hope he ll be OK in the storm...They call me “Screech” - - Ever wonder Why?I guess you’ve never heard my cry.It’s not a hymn or monk-like chant-It’s more-or-less a haunting rant. But I’ve got two other calls you know-The first’s a lilting tremolo.The second’s like a horse’s whinny-Starts out loud but then gets skinny. And if you like the way I “sing”-You’d love to see me on-the-wing.I’m not a speedy, flying riot-I make my living being quiet. With feathers soft and talons bright-I feed on critters of the night.Bugs and birds and long-tailed mice-Make a diet short on spice. My housing needs are very few-A box or hollow tree will do.Yet if you want me near your house-Best to check first with your spouse. For sometimes I leave a meal half eaten-And you don’t want her on you beatin’.‘Cause if you get the sudden “boot”-I’ll try but I can’t give a Hoot! Otus asio (Thanks, Chas!) With snow expected late Wednesday, I challenge fellow birders to a Birdy 30 on Thursday.The rules are simple. The person (or team) who sees and/or hears the most species of birds in any 30-minute interval from one spot on Thursday wins. (Think of it as a warmup for Saturday s Christmas Bird Count.)To the winner: Bragging rights.So fill those feeders now! These two poems -- by Ted Kooser and Mary Oliver, seem to take a diametrically opposed view of one of my favorite birds -- the Screech Owl.Which do you prefer? Hank Ohlhoff recently had this guy at his feeder. Can you name the species?(Thanks, Hank!) Directions to The Fell HouseLook for white house with pillars, white barn, on west side of Franklin Turnpike, just north of Cottage Place. Directions to Green Way entrance to the Celery FarmGreen Way is off the Franklin Turnpike, the second right heading north after the Celery Farm parking lot on the Franklin Turnpike. Parking is in the cul de sac. This is a residential street, so please drive and park considerately. Please do not block the large gates leading into the Celery Farm, and please park parallel to the curb. Directions To Celery Farm Main Parking LotParking lot is on your right, north of Cottage Place, past three houses. Please do not park on the sidewalk -- it is illegal, by state law. You could damage the sidewalk, make it dangerous for pedestrians, and receive a ticket. (Pass the word if you see anyone parking on thes sidewalk.)
