Teacher, mom, birder/naturalist, knitter, sailor, not necessarily in that order. Gets outside every day. Central Maine. Field bred springer spaniels are the best.

Here in central and southern Maine it’s Big Night season when amphibians migrate to breeding pools. Tonight we helped 15 peepers and 3 wood frogs cross the road. We were too late for 8 peepers and 2 wood frogs, but that’s not bad since there were 46 cars!

In case changing the clocks didn’t make it real, a red winged blackbird showed up today to announce spring is here. Pix through my window. Arrival date pretty consistent with the past several years, though seems early! Also what passes for spring here is pretty much late winter. #birds #mainebirds

Escaped to the coast today. Outside time for the win! Then had an epic sunset at home. #Maine

Prevent Bird Strikes - The Audubon Shop Birder Supplies, Birdwatching Supplies, Madison, CT Why do birds collide with windows? For birds, glass windows are worse than invisible. As they fly, they see the reflection of foliage or sky in a window, and it looks like a safe place to fly towards....

Sometimes the birds seem ok, but succumb later. These are supposed to be good: www.theaudubonshop.com/product-cate...

Once you started decreasing, did you decrease every row? I’m trying to get the crown to look like that on a hat now.

I’m turning the corner on a series of nasty bugs! I even skied today in our glorious snow.

Looking for practical ideas about how we stop this. Can someone sue?

Student comes to my door this am. And says Mrs HM I have to tell you something. I think it’s going to be about unfinished work. But NO. It’s about this great book he received and can’t wait to read! My teacher day is made. The book? Call of the Wild. #teachersky
