This is NOT a reflection in two directions; these are two dabbling ducks. Photographed by , Jake Levin, they offer both the reality of a duck's life and the surprise of symmetry. [This is a crop of the full work.]

Jake writes, "my approach to bird photography is rooted in simplicity and classical principles of composition." We are pleased to exhibit his work in the art show this year.

Unfortunately, we need to postpone the September 6th, Butterfly program until the summer of 2027.

The good news is, it is possible we see this little guy again! Black Swallowtails spend between 10-30 days as caterpillars. After this stage, they go into a chrysalis and spend the winter transforming into an adult.

We have rescheduled the butterfly program until July 31, 2027, and we will be looking for Black Swallowtails!

You can find vultures around the world on most continents. Two species occur in Vermont. Populations of many species are under pressure and some species are facing extinction.

Today, learn what you can do to protect vultures…and why that’s a really good idea!

Sarah Rosedahl's "Return of the Osprey" asks us to notice what birds are where, and when.

It's true that osprey young have fledged by now. Many have begun their migration. Look for them in the skies and near water. Next spring, watch the large, stick-built nests for reuse; keep your eyes on tall posts, poles, and trees.

Donald Perdue works in many media—from wood to words, stone to metal—to create sculptures that "make whole the spirit of visual ideas." This heron leans onward, holding still yet with a sense of impending motion, drawing us into its intensity. What does a heron consider when it hunts, flies, rests?

For today's , we're highlighting A. Gary Reid of and a portion of his photo of a on a , interacting quite directly with what some humans have left .

It's a different, less peaceful, and more dynamic take on than some others we've shared — perhaps getting us to consider how SHOULD we interact with birds and waters in the world. What do yo think?
