Very happy to see The #TrusteesofReservations displaying the flag wherever we have a flagpole, even where we are unstaffed. It's relatively easy to make these statements in Massachusetts, but that doesn't stop me being proud to be able to say I work here part time at one of the properties, and we aren't lagging on programs: https://thetrustees.org/program/lgbtq-events/.

Belted Kingfisher and an American Robin out in the snow at Cornell Farm this afternoon.

Moss and lichens grow on sand dunes - who knew!? - as seen on the dune trails at #TrusteesOfReservations' Crane Beach.

I'm sure you've seen thicker trees, but have you ever seen one this thick growing in a sand dune? See for yourself on the dune trails at #TrusteesOfReservations' Crane Beach! In other places, there are even mature hardwoods!

Apparently, all I need to do to spot Merlins is head out for a hike when the light is lousy. This guy was happy to perch on one of the big evergreens down by the river at Westport Town Farm for a while, but the sun was low and behind clouds.
