I surveyed with Merav from 9 - 11 am. The weather was 46° F but felt warmer.

We saw one live newt in the seep by Limekiln Canyon trail but it ducked into the sedges so we weren't able to photograph it. Later we saw another live newt swimming in the reservoir at Limekiln Canyon Road.

89 dead newts. 21 on the uphill site, 68 on the reservoir side. 7 of the newts were juvenile, 82 were adult. The juveniles were all on the reservoir side.

There were 113 cars, 16 tru...

After the day's rain, the sun came out and it was 60 degrees or more. After looking over the Metacomet properties I was tempted to add some more sightings along the Eastern half of the Lake Manchaug Overlook . And what a fine few hours it proved to be. I was not expecting a few wood frogs to chime in and reveal a nearby vernal pool. A raven passed overhead and even a couple gulls passed over the property. Woodpeckers were out both drumming and calling. Meanwhile, owing to the rain in the...

I've been seeing a lot of Canada Geese lately, which makes sense because they usually migrate from the south to the north around springtime for breeding purposes. I've only seen them in the air, in their characteristic V-formation. I've also seen two Northern Cardinals, a Downy Woodpecker, an American Robin, a Blue Jay, and heard Mourning Doves on my walks home from school (N Prospect St).
Looking up these birds' migration patterns, I learned:
Northern Cardinals are year-round r...

Happy April Everyone! Spring is well on it's way and I am excited for the warm weather in our future. This summer I will be hosting monthly pollinator walks. Please join us if you are interested! Each month we will meet at a different park and spend about an hour walking through the park taking photos of all the insects we can find.

The April pollinator walk will be held on Saturday April 29th from 2:00-3:00pm at Nose Hill Park. *weather dependent

23 March 1863

William John Burchell, English Explorer, naturalist, traveller, artist, and author was born in 1792. The son of a wealthy nurseryman. Burchell travelled nearly 7 000 km throughout South Africa between 1810 and 1815, collecting specimens of animals and plants. He described his journey in a book titled Travels in the Interior of Southern Africa. His collection contains the most extensive examples of African fauna and flora. Burchell's travels, however, exhausted hi...
