Hi all:

=20

Just ouside of Middleton is a community called Squirreltown.  From an histo=
rical perspective it would be interesting to know the history of how that n=
ame occurred.

=20

Just outside of Middleton on the road back to Bridgewater and just prior to=
 entering West Nictau there was a turkey vulture circling with two red-tail=
ed hawks.

My friend David Walmark described a bird this morning that he had at Kingsb=
urg Beach which he determined was a northern mockingbird.  I asked him abou=
t the possibility of a northern wheater but he said no.  A beach to me seem=
s like an odd place for a mockingbird to be.  I was down there this evening=
 and checked it out with David=2C but there was no sign of the bird.  There=
 was a sanderling present though in full breeding plumage.  Likely a failed=
 nester which has returned. =20
