Woodbury pond loon 1
Getting back to Maine found us at the edge of Woodbury Pond when this male loon drifted past. He was floating leisurely during a humid and hot mid-afternoon. I caught him through the bushes. If you look carefully about a foot or so in front of his beak, you can make out a dragon fly. This fellow was entertaining and several more images will follow in the coming days.
Beaver at work
Another look at the beaver that entertained us recently while we were crossing upstream from their primary dam.
Beaver incoming!
We were crossing the stream where the beavers have their current set of dams when one of them came steaming toward us.

Blackbird on the Madagascal
Along the Madagascal Stream as it winds its way through Grand Falls Township in north, central Maine, the red-wing blackbirds are ubiquitous this time of year.
A lesser yellowleg by the stream
Found this guy poking around on the beaver dam just upstream from a snow-machine bridge last week
Spring flowers arrive
We have found evidence of Spring during our walks in the woods this week. This trillium is ahead of the pack.
Branch along the pond
This old branch looks like a creature from a scary novel.
A painted lady
A Painted Lady butterfly made it to Maine this year.
