Reception at Old Stone House
Thank you Ruth Gastel, Laurie Chaumont and the GNPS Garden Club for the wonderful reception to dedicate the two planters GNPS donated to Old Stone House. Click here to see photos taken by Bob Levine at the reception. GNPS BIRDWATCHERS
had a glorious walk with an unexpected sighting of loads of local and migrating birds on and around a Kousa Dogwood tree. The walk ended with a view of the juvenile red-tailed hawk who had been making the blue jays and the squirrels squawk. Here is the link to the list of birds and photos provided by Gabriel Willow, the leader of the 9/28 bird walk - https://ebird.org/checklist/S95292958.
