  • Birdobserver7.2 Page52-60 a Guide to Birding on Martha's
    A GUIDE TO BIRDING ON MARTHA'S VINEYARD Richard M. Sargent, Montclair, New Jersey A total of 35T species have been recorded on Martha’s Vineyard, This represents 85 per cent of all the hirds recorded in the state of Massa- chusetts, Prohably the Most faMous of theM, excluding the now extinct Heath Hen, was the Eurasian Curlew, first identified on February I8, 1978» and subsequently seen by several hundred birders during the Month that it reMained "on location." Of the 357 species, approxiMately 275 are regular, occuring annually. The variety of species present and the overall charM of the Vineyard Make it a fun place to bird. The Island is reached by ferry froM Woods Hole and if you plan to tahe your car it is very advisable, if not a necessity, to Make advance res- ervations with the SteaMship Authority for both in-season and out-of~ season trips. And heré a note of caution: Much of the property around the ponds and access to Many of the back areas is private property and posted. The areas discussed in this article are open to the public and offer a good cross-section of Vineyard birding areas. If there are private areas you want to cover, be sure to obtain perMission before entering them.

  • Getting Cold Outside
    GETTING C-C-COLD OUTSIDE? EXPLORE WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS’ GREAT INDOORS! With the holidays come and gone, real Yankee-style winter typically gets a grip on this part of New England. And for the hardy outdoor types, we’ve got plenty of chill-weather sports and activities to offer. But for those who prefer snuggling in to bundling up, there’s still lots to see and do, in places where you won’t need mittens and boots. If knowledge and fun warm your hearts (and minds!) rejoice in the fact that our region is truly rich in excellent museums, and best of all, they’re not the stuffy keep-quiet-don’t-touch type. Virtually all feature hands-on experiences for all ages, and participation is encouraged. One of the coolest “exploratoriums” we offer isn’t even in Western Massachusetts, though it’s just minutes over the Connecticut state line. That’s the fabulous New England Air Museum, located in Windsor Locks. Their collection contains over 100 aircraft ranging from early flying machines to supersonic jets. Located in the heart of downtown Springfield, Massachusetts, the Springfield Museums offers access to four world-class museums and (in warmer weather, of course) the Dr. Seuss National Memorial Sculpture Garden, all under a single admission. At the Springfield Science Museum the dinosaur exhibit spans two galleries and includes real dinosaur tracks and fossils, a life-sized Tyrannosaurus rex model, a replica of a stegosaurus skeleton, a surround-sound Jurassic Theater experience, and more. The Lyman and Merrie Wood Museum of Springfield History is known for its local history research facilities, its comprehensive program of changing exhibitions, its diverse educational offerings, and its wide ranging collections illuminating the history of the Connecticut River Valley.The Indian Motocycle Collection is the largest collection of Indian cycles and memorabilia in the world and the Firearms Collection includes more than 1600 firearms, with the largest collection of Smith & Wesson guns in the world.
