2022 Needham Nature Calendar – Photos by Yours Truly

Posted on October 26, 2021 by ileneh

Here is a thumbnail screenshot of the 2022 Needham Nature Calendar coming soon. They will be printed through Vistaprint. The cover includes a North American Beaver gnawing on a tree and a Green Heron at the Needham Reservoir, and a female Wood Duck and her brood on Walker Pond off Central Ave.

Critters that visited the Needham Reservoir, behind the DPW Building on Dedham Ave., are featured in January, April, September, and October. All of the pages are labeled with the names of the animals. The Recycling and Transfer Station, aka the Dump, feature the coyote and the turkey. Other locations include the Needham Community Farm, the Needham High School, Rosemary Lake and my backyard. The Bald Eagle nest was shot in Arlington, but it is the same eagle that has been sighted over Rosemary Lake.

The December Blue Tree photo is an oldie but goodie. The Sugar Maple tree was planted in 1954, but was razed in 2014, due to rot. This shot was taken its last year.

The 2022 Needham Nature Calendar is 6.5 by 8.5 inches and it opens to letter size (8.5 x 11 inches). As you can see, the calendar portion is on the bottom and there is space to write notes. The price is $25.00 for each calendar and must be ordered directly through me. Please leave a comment or email me if interested.
