Maine! Contrast
Northern Blazing Star and Goldenrod, Kennebunk Plains Nature Conservancy, Kennebunk, Maine, USA — It is Blazing Star season and, though not the best year in recent memory, there is a good crop on the Kennebunk Plains. It seems a bit dry this year. It is, of course, also Goldenrod season and I always look for Blazing Star and Goldenrod growing together for the color contrast.

Maine! Red-tail
Red-tailed Hawk: York County Maine, USA, August 2024 — An immature Red-tailed Hawk has been using this hunting perch along the edge of the marsh a half mile from the river mouth off and on all spring and summer, but this is an adult on the same perch.
