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.

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.
Spring ice time
A couple of weeks ago, while walking along the Kennebec river in Augusta (Maine), I noted the beginning breakup of the winter ice. As usual, any spot on land or sea where liquid water collects during March in Maine, you will find big and little birds. Gulls, ducks, geese, loons, and, if you are extremely lucky, an eagle.
Goldeneyes streaming by
It has been a long winter and I am going to catch up on recording the images around me. This common goldeneye surprised me as I visited Pleasant Pond (Maine) on Thorofare road. There are plenty of geese, mallards, and gulls out here. The goldeneyes are a nice change.
