While we were along the mid-Maine coast in July, we found this summer tanager visiting near our bird feeders.

Now we get to Fall

Gull grabbing lunch
From several months ago on the Connecticut coast near Mystic, a gull grabbed something while we wandered along the shore line.
Fall visitor
We visited the Connecticut coast this past week and found an egret exploring.
Heron on the dry bog
Several weeks ago we spotted this heron on the dried out beaver bog pond. Maine has had a dramatically rain-less summer and we have never seen the bog pond this dry since the beavers dammed the stream many years ago.

The bluejays arrive
During our Memorial weekend visit to the north of Maine last week, we had to wait until Monday for the sun to arrive. We then found our friend’s bird feeders surrounded by blue jays.
