Having grown up on the south shore, I rarely if ever saw a bluebird. Now, thanks to the efforts of individuals and organizations like Wildlands Trust, bluebird populations are increasing year to year.

Spotted these today (4/4/23) at Willowbrook Farm. Probably just passing through as these warblers move to breeding grounds to the north.
Breeding occurs mainly to the north in the Boreal forests of Canada.
Sunday March 26, 2023 - The mild weather this week has roused our vernal pool inhabitants. Much like the sounds from ducks, the Wood Frog 'croaks' could be heard along the trails and throughout the woods at Willow Brook Farm

Not sure if these are considered rock sculptures but regardless, they are quite nice. They look natural and blend in nicely with the surrounding landscape. Impressive!!
