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.

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.

We have found evidence of Spring during our walks in the woods this week. This trillium is ahead of the pack.
This old branch looks like a creature from a scary novel.
A Painted Lady butterfly made it to Maine this year.
