A couple of weeks ago, while walking along the Kennebec river in Augusta (Maine), I noted the beginning breakup of the winter ice. As usual, any spot on land or sea where liquid water collects during March in Maine, you will find big and little birds. Gulls, ducks, geese, loons, and, if you are extremely lucky, an eagle.
It has been a long winter and I am going to catch up on recording the images around me. This common goldeneye surprised me as I visited Pleasant Pond (Maine) on Thorofare road. There are plenty of geese, mallards, and gulls out here. The goldeneyes are a nice change.

Another shot of the probable immature gulls found at Mill Park in Augusta. The black beak-tip and the brown tail tips seem keys to identifying but I have not figured out which gull version.

A month or so ago, we walked along the Kennebec River at Mill Park in Augusta, Maine. As you can see, Fall was in the air – or on the water, I guess.
