Warm days, open water

4 mins read
Reflections are back! There’s open water on the Vienna Mill Pond and a variety of water fowl including geese, wood ducks, ring neck ducks, mallards, and hooded mergansers are taking advantage of it while they wait for larger lakes and ponds to open up. It could be a long wait. (Photographed by Jane Naliboff)

  1. Many thanks for the generosity of our local contributing photographers. To Steven Muise: Fascinating photos of the golden crowned kinglets. Winter Wonder by Bernd Heinrich provides info about their survival in harsh Maine winter.

  2. Thank you Audrey, I haven’t read that yet, but had the pleasure of hearing Bernd speak about this last year at the Waterville Opera House. I will read it now!
