Some shots from our 2014 Fledglings

Patty Frothingham got these photos on a gray day in March 2014. She was strapped for time and couldn’t wait for better shots, so they are a little dark. But this gives us a good idea of what we hope to be seeing this coming March. Thanks Patty!

Another Rail For Breakfast?

At 6:15 this morning, 2/7, Mom brought a prey item back to the nest. With its long legs and really long toes, I suspect this was another rail – the long toes help to keep them from sinking into the muck when they roam about the salt marsh.

The Historical Dictionary of Golfing Terms (1993) believes that "Birdie", meaning a score of one stroke under Par on a given hole comes from the 19th century American slang term "bird", meaning anything excellent. "Eagle", a score of two under par for a given hole, was clearly the extension of the theme of birds for good scores. A score of two under Par is, in some ways, a 'big birdie' and an Eagle is a big bird. Two under par on a par three is seldom if ever referred to as an Eagle, but rather prized as a Hole-in-One. Once our eagles return, we plan to list players who score Eagles (and Holes-in-One) and showcase photos of the holes where they did it. Come tour our courses, eagle by eagle.
