See anything interesting in this photo taken behind Allendale's historic Fell House last week?

(The Celery Farm was once a bog on John Fell's property.)

If you haven't been over to High Mountain in a while, you might like to hear that the star atop High Mountain is back.

North Haledon librarian Susan Serico writes:

"The star was removed after the holidays, but was put back up again a few months ago due to the COVID-19 crisis.  The Mayor felt it would provide HOPE for the future.  Above is a recent photo of it taken by Tara Breur.  Solar panels provide the energy to light it."

(Thanks, Susan!)

The view from the summit on Wednesday afternoon is below.

On Monday I wrote:

Ginny Chucka sent this photo on Saturday afternoon, and I knew immediately that it had to be the next Monday Morning Mystery. (The photo was taken recently  in Western N.J.)

See anything unusual?

Here's the answer, via Ginny: "We were fishing along the shoreline of the Clinton Reservoir, and a Blad Eagle flew out (photo below left). Then we saw something swimming.  At first we thought it was a beaver or a mink swimming (photo below right). Then the owl flew over our heads with the squirrel and perched in a tree in front of us. We never saw the grab itself."

(Thanks, Ginny! Amazing pix.  And congrats to all who saw the squirrel's tail in the owl photo.)

Notice how the roof of the box warped and separated is the photo above?

Time for a new box with a more-secure roof.

A joint along the peak of the roof, with nothing but a few cheap nails to keep it tight? Really?

Why aren't some nestboxes built better?
