The Baypoll Blog: Finally a Snowy...
http://baypoll.blogspot.com/2014/01/finally-snowy.html
Sunday, January 26, 2014. This winter has been a tremendous year for finding Snowy Owls in the United States. While a few of these Arctic visitors can be found in the States most years, hundreds or maybe thousands of Snowy Owls have been observed irrupting from their typical northern wintering grounds to places as far south as Arkansas, Florida, and Bermuda! That one had been seen in the Boston area that morning- and even better, it was just a short walk from a subway stop! I was born and raised in easte...

The Baypoll Blog: Alaska, Day Two: Seward and Exit Glacier
http://baypoll.blogspot.com/2013/07/alaska-day-two-seward-and-exit-glacier.html
Tuesday, July 9, 2013. Alaska, Day Two: Seward and Exit Glacier. We started Wednesday morning by heading towards Lowell Point, a small establishment a few miles south of Seward. The road between Seward and the point ran right along the shore, giving us wonderful views of the mountains on the other side of the bay. The woods around Lowell Point were mostly filled with the usual suspects , especially Hermit Thrushes and Townsend's Warblers. A single Pigeon Guillemot swam up to the ducks, but soon took off ...

Monday, February 18, 2013. The ground is still frozen and patches of snow dot the landscape, but that hasn't kept the winter aconite from opening a few blooms in a sun-filled patch of the yard! These bright yellow flowers are almost always the first blossoms to appear each year—often around the middle of February. Winter aconite ( Eranthis. Saturday, February 16, 2013.

The Baypoll Blog: An Act of God
http://baypoll.blogspot.com/2015/02/an-act-of-god.html
Sunday, February 1, 2015. An Act of God. An administrator here at Harvard once proclaimed that " Harvard University will close only for an act of God, such as the end of the world. The university preemptively canceled Tuesday classes on Monday afternoon shortly after a State of Emergency was declared by Governor Baker. Whispers traveled through the lecture halls and cheers erupted from the halls. For many students, especially those from warmer climates, this was to be their first ever snow day. Some stud...

Wednesday, October 31, 2012. Pine Siskin on goldenrod. During the big sit on October 13, I found two more species (that I will post about in a full report of the day soon! Immature White-crowned Sparrow - yard year bird #153. Warblers have moved on, and sparrows have arrived. By some accounts, we are entering into a season of dull birding. However, the truth is quite the opposite. The month of November is an excellent time of year to find rarities! Monday, October 8, 2012. Lincoln's Sparrows are secretiv...

The Baypoll Blog: Rebirth and Lovejoy
http://baypoll.blogspot.com/2015/01/rebirth-and-lovejoy.html
Sunday, January 11, 2015. Ever since I started this blog back in 2009, I have focused my posts on the exciting critters and plants that I found while exploring the outdoors. Then college happened. My time to write posts was greatly reduced, and more importantly, it became more difficult to spend time outdoors and away from the city. One such interest is astronomy, and there happens to be something new in the nighttime sky right now! I first heard about Comet Lovejoy. Taken with a 400mm lens. There it is&...

Tuesday, July 23, 2013. I'll post some more reports from my Alaska trip soon, but I had to share these images of a Juniper Hairstreak I found nectaring on butterfly milkweed this afternoon. I rarely see this species away from redcedars (the caterpillar host plant), so this was a very exciting find. After finding this female, my mom and I discovered a male nectaring on a bergamot flower not too far from the patch of milkweed! Tuesday, July 9, 2013. Alaska, Day Two: Seward and Exit Glacier. We did find one...
