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.

Blue jay morning
From last week in the north of Maine
See the sea bird
Found along the Connecticut shore at the end of winter – a loon looking for his/her summer outfit?
Geese in line
Another look at the geese found in Southern Connecticut about a month ago. Despite the threat of tariffs, we are seeing the usual number of these Canadians everywhere in New England, hah!
A starling on the coast
Found along the Fishers Island Sound in southeastern Connecticut several weeks ago: a European starling, maybe.
A chickadee visit
We were fortunate this past week to find a couple of chickadees checking out a stump along the trail. Their apparent interest in evaluating this stick of wood, inside and out, caused them to ignore my nearby presence.
Canadian tourists
Heron at the pond
The heron that could be “lonesome George” was spotted at the north end of the Ice Pond this afternoon
Even the Robins are back
I have read that robins actually don’t move south in winter sometimes. My recent experience has noted seeing fewer robins around our yard at any time of year. This one was near the Kennebec river in Augusta, Maine, last week or so.
