This blog started as one devoted entirely to Westport’s Sherwood Island State Park. The original name was Sherwood Island 365. As of December 31st, 2009, I’ve enlarged the scope to cover other areas in and around the town, with occasional forays to far-flung places. With that, I also changed the name to The Wilder Side of Westport. Very racy for a nature blog, eh?
I’m an amateur photographer who enjoys the outdoors. My other blog is Chicken Spaghetti: Books for Children and the Rest of Us, Too.

Hi Susan! I stumbled upon your blog in the Westport Now blog roll, and just added a link to it on the Friends of Sherwood Island website. Beautiful work – hope you’ll keep it up all winter.

Thanks so much! I really admire the Friends’ web site, too; it’s a wonderful resource.

Hi Susan,
Nice Blog. As a birder I have a love/hate relationship with Sherwood Island. Sometimes it’s the best place to be birding in the state and sometimes it feels like it’s the worst (cold and empty). Some great pictures in here – the sea log in is my personal favorite.

Hi, Luke! Thanks for the nice words about Sherwood Island 365.
I like your blog, too; I added it to the blog roll. Can’t wait to go on one of your walks one day soon.
