Index of Subjects
Index of Subjects I am just back from a wonderful South Shore Naturalists Club outing to a mostly hemlock softwood stand that is being selectively managed and contains trees from 80 to 200 years old. This stand is off route 8 and a few miles outside of Milton. Of course many other species of softwood trees were also there in the same age bracket. A young lady from the Mersey Tobeatic Research Centre was our guide along with the woodlot owner. Lots of wonderful holes in trees for owls, woodpeckers and other species to nest. Of interest on this walk were about at least eight brown creepers vocalizing on territory, there also was a pileated woodpecker and my first winter wren for the year vocalizing. Other birds of note, an American tree swallow at Broad Cove on the wires and two at Milton along the river. In front of my place at Dublin Shore this morning was one of the largest concentrations of long-tailed ducks I have seen thus far in the year. There were 120 birds. James R.
