More geese and ducks on the pond
The usual group of geese and ducks on the Ice Pond last week. This end of the pond was not filled with algae at this time (see previous posts).
Ducks working the pond
A pair of ducks sample the underwater goodies on the Ice Pond. The algae is becoming visible.
Birds on algae
We found the Ice Pond on Mason Island covered with a vast cover of algae last week. The ducks and geese seem to mostly ignore its presence.
Loon along the pond
After wandering near Pleasant pond in Litchfield, Maine, over many days, I finally found a bird close enough to ‘capture’!
Heron island
Along the Kennebec river on the Augusta east side, I typically find a heron or two checking out this small island not far from the towering Memorial Bridge. This is probably not the first photo I have posted from this spot.
Heron on the move
A northward bound heron heads for the Augusta, Maine, downtown skimming above the Kennebec river last month.
Goose on the rocks
A canada goose paddled toward me as I hung around the Ice pond. Then stood up on this rock for a close up.
