At the beaver dam
maine woods
Common mergansers on the stream
On the outlet stream from the Beaver bog, these common mergansers look for food and perhaps a place to nest during the rest of Springtime.
Mallards on the stream
The outlet stream from the Beaver bog is a typical Spring season hang out for all sorts of ducks. Here a group of mallards check out this year’s version.
Beaver in the bog
On a visit to the so-called Beaver bog, created by a team of beavers over twenty years ago, we found a beaver near their latest dam. Their work has flooded the bog and made it a useful resource for all kinds of ducks and other creatures.
Tree fall
Last fall a large tree fell into Woodbury Pond. The ice during the winter encased it and created this unusual image, caught during a warm late winter day as fog hovered over the pond.
Westward bound
We have reached eleven months of Coronia and two-thirds of another Maine winter. We are expecting the slow return of Spring, Summer, and the Fall. We hope to start seeing more birds and fewer tracks in the snow to mark the end of Winter.
Cross tracks at the cross road
We found a very interesting group of tracks of all sizes the other day on our hike.
Small tracks along the snow trail
As our weather meanders deeper into winter, our time in the woods gets shorter and shorter. It doesn’t go above freezing anymore. More and more forest life leaves only their tracks and most of them are mysteries.
Turkey tracks
We have had little chance so far this winter in getting some good bird pictures. But a little light snow and some time in the back woods did provide us with some “almost” bird images!
Winter begins on Woodbury
It was weeks ago before the ice came that we saw this on Woodbury Pond. Now, the ice is here, the Republican stormtroopers have assaulted the US Capitol, and the nation has lost over 350,000 people in nine months of pandemic. Make America Great Again has new meaning.
