I took advantage of the unseasonal weather this morning and headed to
the North Hartland Reservoir for some birding and sun. I walked the
trails for two hours. The highlight was a Barred Owl that flushed out
of a tree right after two chickadees flew in (I don't think they knew
it was roosting there either). Lots of chickadees about and a large
flock of juncos in the playground.
