Geese In A Row

No kidding.  This is was taken today or yesterday on the main street of our little resort town.  I mean, I thought it was from somewhere else til I recognized the church signs.  It was posted to Facebook by a local.  

A Birding We Will Go

I am informed by above referenced TMCC there is an incredible "birding spot in interior New England" known as the Brownfield Bog. Birds such as this may be viewed on birding expeditions. Apparently required equipment is minimal: binocs, rubber boots (mud season) and a snack.

I am not going but I love the colorful look of this birdy so I posted it for pure pleasure.

Update!!! May 1st!!! Just found out this is the New Hampshire state bird. whaddyaknow?
