Literally in the Shadow Ridgefield Conservation Commission (RCC): Shadow Lake/Albert M. Baker, Jr. Reserve ~0.5 Miles, June 2017 It's time to begin hiking Ridgefield. After all, the tony town is "on notice" in 2017 as one of my towns to "complete." Should be a breeze... I mean, who has ever heard of hiking in … [Read more...]
Bakerwoods Farm
It’s... Interesting Ashford (Google Maps location) May 21, 2017 Look, if you’ve been reading this site for a while you not only know the style in which I write, you also know my feelings about certain things.

Connecticut Audubon Fictional Passport Challenge
Lots and Lots of Audubonalia For some reason, I wrote an intro to this intro page. This page came together simply because I wanted to have a page that put all the various Audubon “things” in Connecticut into one spot. In other words, I’m doing this for one person: me.

Massport to Nachursetts: Wellfleet Bay
Passport to Nature, Mass Audubon Wellfleet Bay, Wellfleet August 2016 At this point, I've only been to two Mass Audubon properties (of 21). Regardless, I imagine this one at Wellfleet Bay has to be one of the best. The Nature Center is large, modern, informative, and quite impressive. And the trails out to the … [Read more...]
Massport to Nachursetts: Long Pasture
Passport to Nature, Mass Audubon Long Pasture, Barnstable August 2016 The little center in Barnstable on the western end of Cape Cod is, I think, the newest of the Mass Audubon Centers. It's in a house that has been converted to... well, most of it appears to still be a house, but the living room is now a … [Read more...]
Mass Audubon Passport to Nature
Mass Exodus? Mass Audubon Passport to Nature Warning: This page/challenge is absurd for me to even consider. It’s in Massachusetts. I don’t “do” Massachusetts on this website.

Fisher Meadows
Dead Fisher Fisher Meadows, Avon May 8 & 21, 2016 I have no idea why we started hiking the trails of Avon in early 2016, but we did. I used the hikes as sort of a filler on those weekends when we didn’t have time to do a “real” hike or to go on another adventure. "We only have a couple hours? Fine, lets go over … [Read more...]
315. Horizon Wings Raptor Rehab Center
”Take... These Broken Wings” Ashford (Google Maps location) April 23, 2016 No, this isn¹t a museum and no, they don¹t call themselves one. But I am, for the sake of continuity on CTMQ. Horizon Wings isn¹t much different than any of the Audubon Society centers I lump in as museums. The worst part about this is … [Read more...]
Bloomfield Blog # 4: Animals
Bloomfield's Animals Let's begin with a beautiful little bird I came across a few years ago at Bloomfield's Flood Control Area off of Woodland Avenue. Every town in Connecticut has animals. Duh. And many towns have unique animals of one sort or another. Bloomfield, for its part, seems to favor rescuing and … [Read more...]

Lion(fish) and Tiger(sharks), Oh My! Mystic section of Stonington (Google Maps Location) October 11, 2007, etc. I've been to the Aquarium a few times since the initial visit that most of this page is based upon - and have gained a greater appreciation for it over the years. In 2016, I fixed up the pictures here a … [Read more...]
