On the Lucy Knowles Road in Farmington early this morning. (Photo by Muriel Armstrong/Farmington)“I was on the phone with my son Adam Ramos of Wilton yesterday when he said, ‘Mom, I gotta go I have a flag!’ Being an ice fisher myself I completely understood. He returned my call with this picture.” (Photo courtesy of Karen Shovelton)The purple finch, at right, who seems to be standing his ground. He arrived this morning and pushed out a cardinal for his share of seeds and corn. He breeds and lives in the coniferous mixed forests of northeastern America and Canada. The population is declining here in the east because the house finch is very pushy. (Photo by Jane Knox/Brunswick)Wooded area along the Lucy Knowles Road in Farmington early this morning.

What did the fish weigh ? Nice catch…Hope you had a BIG hole drilled to get that puppy out. Great job……..
Actually, there are two deer in the picture.
It weighed in 3.5 lbs.
I love the bluebird. The picture of persistence and the desire for spring.
Are Cardinals common this time of year in Maine? Where was this one photographed, near the coast? Curious in Vienna
