Out and About, Maine Edition: The Double-Crested Cormorant and The Osprey That Commutes

This guy flies by always going the same way, left to right. He settles in the trees on the other side of a point that sticks out into the lake.

We never see him/her go back the other way but here is the flyby from today plus;

  • A Double-Crested Cormorant stops by.
  • A bunch of Common Loons does Loon Yoga, it's a thing.
  • The Spotted Sandpiper returns to hunt water bugs and Common Blue Damselflies
  • The Ring-Billed Seagull chooses a new rock

I feel that one cannot have too much "Osprey".

Out and About, Maine Edition: Five More Firsts.

It's been a busy morning here in the woods on the shore of Sebasticook Lake. The following shots were taken before 9:30am around the cabin and from the dock.

A Spotted Sandpiper hunting Common Blue Damselflies on "Seagull Rock".

A female Black and White Warbler takes flight. There were three or four of them
chasing each other around a tree.

Cedar Waxwing takes a break from the aerial acrobatics over the lake portion of the
"we're chasing bugs show".

A Red-Breasted Nuthatch picking morning bugs out of the folds and crevices of tree bark.

A Brown Creeper doing the same.
