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.
Gull fly by
During our recent visit along the Kennebec river in Gardiner, Maine (see previous posts), we not only had a chance to see a number of herring gulls standing around but some of them actually flew back and forth for us.
Look both ways
Last month when we visited the Gardiner landing along the Kennebec river in central (sort of) Maine, we caught a flock of gulls checking out the local citizens, the ice blocks flowing downstream, and the prospects that Spring was really arriving.
Gull on ice
Back in March when the ice on the Kennebec river was breaking up, I managed to find a flock of gulls contemplating the change in season. Here a youngster is keeping their eye on me.
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.
