What’s In a Name?

Growing up I was frequently called by the wrong name.

If you hoof it on the bike trail on either side of town you can be sure to see and often hear the resident catbirds.
There are two woodpeckers who frequent feeders around town, and they look a lot alike.
What an Interesting Find

The other day I heard a thunk on my window and figured it was a bird strike, and I was not wrong.
As kids we were drawn to my uncle’s pond which is now part of the Sydney Fuller Wildlife Preserve, a Suffield Land Conservancy property.
There is a party crasher in town, and you may have seen him at your bird feeder. The Cooper’s hawk is a small bird of prey who likes to swoop in and spoil the fun of all the other birds eating seed, oblivious to any threat that may come from above.
