Visit to Sharon Audubon Center

Visited the Sharon Audubon Center in Sharon, Conn., today to hike the trails, look at the raptors, owls, including barred owl Sophia (pictured), and possibly spot a beaver at work. Never saw the beaver, but saw some gorgeous scenery and a couple of examples of his handiwork around Bog Meadow Pond.

I had time to cook today. Decided to make use of some dehydrated Hamakua mushrooms I was given so made a mushroom casserole with fresh broilers and gray oysters as well. Was looking for shiitake, but didn't find at Times or Safeway.
