Only the patient snail inching along on the forest floor is in oblivion to it all. (Jane Knox/Belgrade lakes)The bobolink makes a two-month journey to Maine to its nesting grounds arriving in May. The female bobolink constructs the nest, interweaving coarse grass and weed stems lined with finer grasses, at the bottom of a slight depression at the base of a clump of grass. (Jane Knox/Belgrade Lakes)The male bobolink does not help with the nest but cheers her on with his song either from the telephone wire along the field’s road or from the nearby dead branch of a bush. (Jane Knox/Belgrade Lakes)Bobolinks leave the nesting area at the end of July or mid August so it is not likely that their offspring will survive the early haying that started today. Increased rain means haying comes earlier each season. (Jane Knox/Belgrade lakes)This eagle flies over Gilsland Farm, headquarters for Maine Audubon, in Falmouth. The eagle carries a freshly caught eel in its talons. (Tom Oliver/Wilton)A loon at Hill’s Pond in Perkins Township. (Tom Oliver/ Wilton)Loon stretches at Hill’s Pond in Perkins Township.

I love the great pictures of Maine wildlife and plantlife. But the sequences that hint at the impact of climate change are so valuable for those of us who want to see Maine flora and fauna continue to flourish.
Wonderful; pictures, as always!!
Once again, thanks for sharing your gorgeous photographs!!!
look forward every week to these beautiful pictures of nature in it’s finest
“One side will make you grow taller, and the other side will make you grow shorter.”
“One side of what? The other side of what?” thought Alice to herself.
“Of the mushroom,” said the Caterpillar, just as if she had asked it aloud….
I really enjoy all the photographs. Just wondering if any Evening Grosbeaks have been seen by the bird photographers. We used to have several pairs that would frequent the feeders. But, we haven’t seen any in a few years.
Beautiful…..really enjoy this weekly show. Thank You!
Love these photos – it’s great to see reptiles represented. Enjoy seeing the snake.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Love these beautiful pictures every week.
Keep them coming …look forward to seeing the pictures every week.
A bunny in Wilson’s Mills! I grew up at the dam there at the head of Aziscohos Lake. Cannot tell you how tickled I am to see a bunny from Wilson’s Mills!
