A new year is upon us and let’s hope it’s one that is full of birds.
Please feel free to share your 2014 bird sightings and photos by either commenting on a link, or sending me an email to bozclark@earthlink.net. I’ll post the photos on my “reader submitted photos” page, which can be found in the menu at the top of this page.

That will be posted shortly. In the meantime: happy new year; send me your comments, stories and photos; and thanks for checking out http://www.birdsofnewengland.com
