On the Lookout

Wachusett Meadow is “deer” to me.

Residents are often just hanging around.

Look who’s coming to dinner!

A perfect score for the Otter Synchronized Swim Team.

You “otter” visit the Audubon, too!

Feathers and Shells

Painted Turtles and Canada Geese share a sunny afternoon together at the Wachusett Meadow Wildlife Sanctuary, Princeton, MA.

I enjoy experimenting with the continuous shutter setting on my bridge camera.

In contrast, I use the built in close-up lens with the turtles sunning on the far side of the pond.

“Duck, Duck, Goose”

An early morning walk on the Mass Central Rail Trail in Rutland, MA.

Watching waterfowl on Rail Trail reminds me of the classic children’s game.

Did You Hear?

An Eastern Meadowlark, which is becoming rarer in many parts of Massachusetts, visited the Audubon Sanctuary recently.

“There’s a Meadowlark in the South Meadow!”

“Heads up, Painted Turtles!”

The Red-winged Blackbird, Mourning Dove and Northern Cardinal have a plan.

“Let’s go check it out!”

The Eastern Meadowlark rests in the grass.
