We hope you will enjoy your visit and will tell your friends about us. Wing Watchers is a family website and we are useful to a few different educational organizations. Our goal is to photograph nature in our state (Connecticut) and show our visitors all the beauty that we share if we look for it. Next to this paragraph, on the left, is a list of daily updates. Just click on one and go to that page. The far left is your menu to our photo albums and more. Did you know that we also try to keep a list of the birds and animals that visit the sanctuary.

Also at the far left, is a clickable sign from the National Wildlife Federation. If you would like to help nature out by building a backyard sanctuary, go to their website and follow the directions. We did it here on the side of a mountain in the Berkshire Mountain Foothills of Connecticut. You could make one anywhere, actually. Rooftops, city yards, or any type of yard.

Below are a few photo examples that we have already done to make our area into the "Pelletier Nature Sanctuary". In the first photo is one of our six Eastern Bluebird houses that were made and given to us by my brother, Ron. We haven't had too many bluebirds but others like this Tree Swallow, use the houses. Next, the Red Fox in the photograph comes to eat cracked corn and birdseed that we put on the lawn, in a bare spot. American Crows and Common Ravens also visit and enjoy. The next two pictures are of the water feature we have. This is a MUST for birds. They clean in it, as the Blue Jay is doing, and they get much needed drinking water like these American Goldfinches. Ours is heated for wintertime when water is harder for birds to find. Finally, Ron and I made three small ponds for aquatic life such as frogs, salamanders, and various water bugs. We just dug a hole and placed a liner of rubber in this photo. The other two are kids swimming pools buried and filled with water.
