Marsh Warden Mike Limatola did a great job clearing the Celery Farm loop of assorted falled tree limbs and other obstructions. The trail is open all the way around the one-mile loop. (Thanks, Mike!)

    Lisa and Bob Safier had a Snow Bunting at their feeder by the Celery Farm this afternoon. (Thanks, Lisa!)

    My wife has officially declared the Celery Farm a winter wonderland. We were out on cross-country skis this morning. We saw the fresh prints of Allendale (fox, deer), and were jiggy with that. (Joke is in there somewhere.).

   A blogger friend in Massachusetts has a nifty blog about Eastern Screech Owls -- with a design for a squirrel-resistant owl box. 

   If you need a solid Screech Owl fix, this is the place: Owl Oasis Blog.

  Here is the link. Take a look and poke around -- a lot of interesting information. 

  Cal Vornberger's talk at the Wyckoff Library on Friday night has been postponed. Trying to reschedule for September.
