Observation date: 3/6/10
Notes: I just had to get out on this gorgeous fair weather day! So, I decided to take my first stroll of the year around the Hartwell Preserve, which is just down the street from my home. As figured, numerous BC Chickadees and Titmice were seen and heard. The Red-wings and the Grackle was seen around the wetland are that encompasses Beaver Brook. The Sharpie was seen flying over the fields that are located nearby. And please note, the Barred Owl was heard giving its characteristic grouping of hoots 3 times. It is heard almost daily, (for like I stated earlier, our home is fairly close to the Preserve) but I am never able to get on it. If anyone is curious as to directions to the Hartwell Preserve, please feel free to email me! (Here is a web address for those who desire a little background information on the Preserve: http://www.
