A Great Hike to the Clove & Beyond

Monday Morning Iceland Mysteries (Part 2)

I wondered what the bird in this artwork at the National Art Gallery of Iceland was, and was told it was a gannet.

I got to thinking about it and realized, no way!

So what is it?

Featuring the Celery Farm Nature Preserve, Red-shouldered Hawks, High Mountain, and Jim Wright's column "The Bird Watcher."

Directions to The Fell House
Look for white house with pillars, white barn, on west side of Franklin Turnpike, just north of Cottage Place.
Directions to Green Way entrance to the Celery Farm
Green Way is off the Franklin Turnpike, the second right heading north after the Celery Farm parking lot on the Franklin Turnpike. Parking is in the cul de sac. This is a residential street, so please drive and park considerately. Please do not block the large gates leading into the Celery Farm, and please park parallel to the curb.

Parking lot is on your right, north of Cottage Place, past three houses. Please do not park on the sidewalk -- it is illegal, by state law. You could damage the sidewalk, make it dangerous for pedestrians, and receive a ticket. (Pass the word if you see anyone parking on thes sidewalk.)
