April can a be a bit of a slog for some of us (mud… warm … cold … more mud), but we have the treat of early migrants and brightening feathers and spring blooms!

Through the Window: March 2026

A small brown and gray sparrow with a streaky breast. (Most likely a Song Sparrow.)

Noisy Wood Frogs, busy Chipmunks, and some nifty Sparrows!

March 2026 events

Redpoll (small brown and white bird with reddish patch on forehead, type of finch) perches on a snowy spruce branchlet.

Sugaring season is upon us, and it’s time to look for some early returning migrants. We’re still watching birds, making art, and exploring winter as often as we can.

We are open by appointment through the rest of the winter, as well as during the special events we have this month.

Through the Window: January 2026

Dark-eyed Junco ( a small gray and white songbird) on a snow-covered wooden railing.

We had a relatively cold stretch of weather this January, which can lead to extra activity at the feeders. Perhaps that explains the one unusual sighting?

February can be a mellow short month, sometimes! We are counting birds, working on grants, making wee owls, and generally getting behind the scenes tasks done. We are open by appointment mostly, but just drop in on Valentines Day (no appointment needed). We have volunteer opportunities too!

Through the Window: December 2025

Feet and lower legs of a lifelike woodcarving of Rough-legged Hawk, perched on a dead branch and holding a vole.

December had moments of excitement with two unusual birds (unusual in that we rarely see them from the viewing window).  This image is a hint… Read on!
