Foggy New Year at Charles River Peninsula

Charles River Peninsula, Needham, Massachusetts

New year at Charles River Peninsula, hope it's a good one, better than 2021.

In 2021, Eversource came and finished what they started. What was once a vital crab-apple enhanced corner of the property, is now a rip-rap wasteland surrounding a new utility pole.

This stockpile seems a bit too close to the neighboring vegetated wetland.

A good platform for shooting New Year's Eve fireworks, apparently.

In better news, The Trustees seem determined to get some grassland birds nesting in the meadow, explicitly restricting off-leash dogs during the breeding season. 
Dogs must be leashed April 1 to August 15

Black-capped chickadees, white-breasted nuthatches, Carolina wrens all singing this morning. This is normal (not an effect of the unseasonably warm weather). The days are getting longer again.
