Fowl weather?<\/strong>
Today the temperatures could reach 60 degrees. Finally. And with that springtime weather comes a couple of season-appropriate items \u2014 of the feathered-friend variety.<\/span>

The live nest cam, ideally, will offer up a view of the ospreys\u2019 offspring and is the result of a collaboration between Comcast, the Friends of Mashpee National Wildlife Refuge and Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, one of the Refuge partners.<\/span>

PARTING SHOT <\/strong>
Yesterday, I shared <\/span>Elton John’s tribute<\/a> to the late <\/span>Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins. But on March 18, just a week before he died, during <\/span>Lollapalooza Chile<\/a>, Hawkins sang Queen’s “Somebody to Love.” It’s not to be missed:<\/span>
