Turtle log
A fairly uncommon sight along the Madagascal stream during mid-day: most turtles that decide to sun themselves also decide to dive under if humans in canoes approach. The log sticking out of the water is a more common sight. The stream was used in days gone by to transport logs from the Lincoln, Maine, area south to the mills at Oldtown.

When looking closely at dragon flies, one thinks it is a good thing they are not the size of, say, an eagle.
Dead tree forest
Many years ago, man-made and beaver-made dams raised the water level of the Madagascal stream to the extent that sections of the larger trees in the adjacent forest died.

Nuthatch at the feeder
The nuthatch usually is found poking around for insects on tree trunks, usually upside down. They will frequent bird feeders in winter, for obvious reasons, but this one we found at the feeder in June. A lazy boy.
