Porcupine: Kennebunk, Maine, USA, July 2025 — Shortly after seeing the deer in the milkweed (yesterday’s post) at my in-laws 4th of July cookout, a hawk flew across the back of the meadow and landed in a tallish tree at the edge of the woods. I did not get a good look, so, of course I kept my eye on that tree 🙂 That is how I noticed the dark blob moving through the foliage. Could only be a porcupine so I took the camera and again worked closer…this time right out into the meadow, almost to the edge of the woods. Again, the porcupine was aware of me, but I was no threat.
