Pat and I took a stroll through Miller's Point Peace Park today.  I was sur=
prised to see a pine warbler after insects in a tree when in the Cemetery. =
 One always gets pictures of signs with things spelt incorrectly and this C=
emetery is no different in that the sign at the one entrance is correctly s=
pelt=2C where at the other entrance it is spelt Cemetary.  I took a photo o=
f it for interests sake.

While looking at the eagle nest=2C just outside of Bridgewater that John Ro=
bart reports an eaglet at today=2C which he photographed.  Pat noticed a bi=
rd sticking its head out of a hole in a dead tree.  To my delight it turned=
 out to be a hooded merganser=2C that likely has a nest with eggs within.  =
Right below that nest is a European starling nest with vocal young.  So thr=
ee nests within close proximity of one another.  I did not see the eaglet o=
n my visit. =20
