Last week was a bit early for #amphibians in the northwest corner of #Connecticut, but they were out in Falls Village. Wood frogs and a couple of peepers seen too!

Check out these incredible photos captured by Richard Stone at the Flanders Nature Center & Land Trust eagle-viewing field trip last weekend! We had a great time, and we'll be keeping our eyes out for more #eagles along the #HousatonicRiver this season!
