Photographs taken with a bridge camera journaling nature and everyday life in Central Massachusetts.

About the author jmankowsky

This photo blog features the seasonal changes in nature observed in my own backyard and a variety of local environments. The Wachusett Meadow Audubon Sanctuary in Princeton, MA is often highlighted as a model for the positive effects a small nature preserve can have on the larger environment and the local community. Local sites of historical, cultural and recreational interest are spotlighted as well. All photographs were taken by me. Thank you so much for visiting.

    Fortunately, some of them stay with us year-round. It does not look very spring-like in your photos yet, but harbingers of spring are definitely welcome! 😊

    Very different from ‘our’ blackbirds!

      Ha ha! 😉 When a whole group comes swooping in, you can see much more red on the wings. This first of the year one was a bit shy, I think! Their very distinctive call is “the sound of a summer afternoon” for me.
