Here's an easy one for you. There's a raptor in the photo. Where, and what?

    Answer tomorrow.  

     Previous MMMs here.

    I count myself lucky when I see one Carolina Wren at the feeder. Yesterday I had a pair.

    I call them North and South.

    More on Carolina Wrens here.

    The Exxon Station on Myrtle Avenue (just west of downtown Allendale) is donating a portion of its proceeds this weekend to the Fell House, and the gasoline there is among the lower-priced around...  

   So if you can...

   Since this is Friday the 13th, I thought I'd do a little post on birds and superstitions.

   I have been working on a fact-based ghost story about the Celery Farm (once called Wolf Swamp) and the Fell House, but it probably won't be ready for the light of day for quite a while.

   In the meantime, I found this post about birds and bad luck on snopes.com, and I found it informative -- even if they missed the reason why the American Robin was flying into the window. I mean, who knew about Lucille Ball?
