This is somewhat similar to the northward migrations of backyard feeder birds such as tufted titmice and red bellied woodpeckers. These southern birds are now being sighting throughout New England. Similarly to opossums, these expansions probably have to do with…
A few years back, we saw a dead opossum on the road shortly before avoiding two that were very much alive. Strangely, the opossum pair appeared to be travelling together.
Surprisingly, this was near Lancaster in northern New Hampshire, which…

A beautifully written and informative article about winter fireflies. I’m looking forward to reading this to our grandchildren and looking for some winter fireflies. We find tons of fireflies in the summer but have never seen one in winter.

I have long been fascinated by stone walls in Connecticut, their beauty, and the fact some poor soul, many years ago, broke his back, from dawn til dusk, year after year, cleared his land of the litter left by the…
Thank you for sharing this lovely explanation of the Northern Lights and light in winter. I think Shetlanders call them the Mirrie Dancers for good reason. I hope to see them myself in Norway this winter.
