*: First-of-the-season
5/19/13 Tupper Lake Marsh (Franklin Co.) & Whiteface Mountain (Essex Co.)

calm winds, brilliant star-lit sky. Swamp and
Sad to report that the Barn Owl nest box on Big John's Pond at Jamaica Bay
Wildlife Refuge has been broken in and occupied by a large raccoon. I hope
there wasn't a tragedy involved.
