Welcome

Here you'll find postings on doings around Easton, the world's environment, history, recipes, fly fishing, books, music, and movies with many other things thrown in as well.

Bird Report

As you may have read, the Massachusetts Audubon Society has released a State of the Birds report that uses documentary evidence to track the increases and decreases in bird populations in Massachusetts. There are two highlights to this effort. The first is the 64 page glossy report itself. It can be read online or downloaded. The other is the new website that lets you check in on the status of any of the more than 100 species found in Massachusetts. This is way too much information to digest quickly and put in blog form in the days before the Harvest Fair. I like its commitment to scientific analysis not that facts matter much in the magic world of preconceived notions that we live in today. Check out the site and the report and we'll get back to this later.
