Interesting Nature Sights and Sightings
 
Two bobcats sighted courting late one afternoon on Blue Ridge Drive in Simsbury by Paul Wilkerson early spring 2008.
 

Five talented artists, (from left to right) Frank Gregory, Ted Esselstyn, Randy Gilman, Michael DiGiorgio, and David Gloman, converged at Roaring Brook this winter to create our new exhibits.

Three baby barred owls fledged this last spring from a tree cavity right off the Werner Pond Trail.
   
Purple Cup mushrooms found along the trail.
 
Last spring, our eagles, Sioux and Shawnee, built a nest. Given their physical handicaps and inexperience, their Roaring Brook caregivers were delighted with their efforts. This Spring, the eagles' cage will be covered to provide privacy for their courtship. We do not expect them to lay eggs.
 
An animal control officer brought this stray to the Nature Center for identification. This young coyote pup was returned to the wild after ensuring the mother was nearby.
