Mass Audubon's Neighborhood Naturalist Online's Journal

January 17, 2021

Hey everyone!!

Just to update everyone I will be adding observations soon I just have been really busy lately.
Hope everyone is well and just so eveyone knows Parker River NWR is a great place for Snowy Owls this year as well as Salisbury Beach. Salisbury Beachs camping ground had been busy with Redpolls and Red Cross bills with some mixed in White- winged crossbills.
Will be uploading photos from the past few months soon.
Miss you all and love seeing all your observations.
Congratulations @rubyheron on being at the top!!
I also will share some facts from I have learned so far in the Birders Certification Program (BCP)

Hi All

Hi everybody!! Sorry I haven't been on in forever I have just been staying offline a lot and totally forgot that that also included iNaturalist. I haven't stopped going outdoors and taking pictures so I will try to upload some of the pictures that I have taken recently and share them with you all. I have also been doing the classes online, the one on shorebirds and I am taking the World of Insects class every Thursday and I was thrilled to see some familiar names signed up as well. Probably the most exciting thing I have seen recently was a very friendly beaver at Lake Dennison and a lot of turkeys and their little babies which are called poults. I want to start being on here more often and would love if all of us could continue sharing about we are doing just in case some of us miss Jane's Zoom sessions every month and I am sure we won't be able to recall all we have done in a entire month. I think it would be great if we started requesting posts on a certain subject and someone who knows a little about it could make one. I would be willing to start if anyone wants to know anything about birds or frogs or someone just wants to throw something at me to see what I know.
I hope you are all doing well and I am looking forward to the Zoom meeting coming up!!

Sending love,
Johanna

Start a naturalist club?

Hello! I'm missing our fun conversations about ecosystems and wildlife. Who else is interested in meeting twice a month, or once a month, to talk about our naturalist experiences, and learn from the group? We could do this on Wednesdays at 7pm. I'd be happy to organize it and use my zoom account. Let me know in the comments if you'd like to do this.

Sketchy person

Just warning everyone about a new user @ ballsypen. They aren't part of this project but commented on my most recent post in a different language. I was able to translate some of it and it sounded sketchy, it said something about some site that sounded like a scam or something. I deleted the comment and reported it. Please be careful.
