Today I had the distinct pleasure of meeting a neighbor, introduced by a mutual friend, who shares a passion for photography, nature, fine homebuilding, and travel. I joined him for a tour of Great Meadows viewed through the eyes of a naturalist and volunteer who helps to maintain the sanctuary. It was a most enjoyable 2-hour amble that netted the female downy woodpecker above and juvenile bald eagle below. Jeanine had a prior engagement and was not able to join us but is looking forward, as am I, to doing so on a future outing.
