Maine! Insect edition
From a walk around Roger’s Pond Park in Kennebunk, Maine. Banded Drone Fly, Bumble Bee, and Honey Bee…all busy gathering pollen while the September sun shines.

Maine! Thursday Supplement, Eagle
Immature Bald Eagle: York County, Maine, USA, September 2023 — I went out looking for Eagles where we sometimes see them once the ice is in along the Mousam River…it is early yet but I can, and always do, hope. There were no Eagles perched but I caught this one soaring high overhead. It is an immature still, and lacks both the white head and tail. The flight however is still distinctive.

Maine! Resistance is futile…
Herring Gull: York County, Maine, USA, September 2023 — In the wake of Hurricane Lee’s passing, the beach was littered with clams scoured off the sea-bed by the heavy surf, and the gulls were having a feast. Many were still whole so the gulls were doing the fly-high-and-drop thing, but they were getting in, as lots of broken shells testified…as well as this photo of a Herring Gull in action.
