Beaver stream

Last fall the local beaver population started damming the stream between the original beaver bog and the middle bog.

Fishing season is open

An osprey attempts to catch lunch (came up empty) on a dive into Potter’s brook near Upper Pleasant pond in Litchfield, Maine. This was my first visit to the Webber-Rogers Farmstead Conservation Area, a property of the Kennebec Land Trust.

Summer loons

Woodbury Pond, Maine

As mentioned in an earlier post, we have encountered a pair of loons down at pondside frequently this year. The mother and her kid float around, diving periodically, and this is about as close as I can get without a super zoom lens. One day there was two adults and I presume it was the father joining this pair.
