A cardinal takes a break in an apple tree before its next stop at a bird feeder. (Don Waterhouse/New Sharon)A mixed group of water birds was hanging on as long as possible in Parker Pond late last week. I heard one loon call, the remainder look like common mergansers, although they were so far out this was the best capture I could get. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville)A real Mainer will not be deterred by subfreezing temperatures when fish are involved and ice has yet to form on Echo Lake. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville)Ice forming on Minnehonk Lake. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville)A bitter cold sunrise on the road to Robin’s Flower Pot. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville)A sparrow (corrected) sits on a branch in Wilton. (Jim Knox/Wilton)A perfect tree in a lovely snow fall makes winter’s cold worth it. For those of you who can’t, or don’t wish to get out, these captures are for you. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville)Saturday’s snowfall through my crystal ball. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville)Early winter solstice greetings from Little Downy Woodpecker. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville)Into the woods on perfect snow. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville)Baby, it’s cold outside. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville)Colored lights in snow. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville)A titmouse sits in a cold snow storm in Wilton. (Jim Knox/Wilton)Looks like the grip of winter. (Elizabeth (Stu) Mehlin/New Sharon)Before the latest storms at our farm on Cape Cod Hill in New Sharon, my wife Juniper looked out at the front field and saw about three dozen turkeys. I quietly went out on the porch to take this photo. I came back. Within a few seconds after shutting the door all the turkeys were quickly gone. We did not see in which direction they went. The Sandy River is just 50 yards down the slope past the trees in the background. (Spencer Thompson/New Sharon)A bald eagle is an almost daily visitor by the Wilton Post Office over Wilson Stream. (Jim Knox/Wilton)Frost down by the Sandy. (Darlene Power/New Sharon)

The photo of the cardinal on the branch of an apple tree is a great catch.
I always look forward to seeing your photos, they are lovely! thank you
Thank you, one and all for the beauteous pictures!
They are such a calming and happy event each Sunday.
Jim Knox, I think you might want to check again as I think the “common redpoll” is actually a tree sparrow, but the photo is delightful! As are all those you share on The Bulldog!
Thank you all for these gorgeous pictures!!
I want to thank everyone who gave me a 2nd look at my Common Redpoll. It is a Tree sparrow. I’m sure a Common redpoll wouldn’t want to be out in this cold weather. On the other hand that Eagle?? Didn’t seem to bother him at all.
Love all these pictures thanks for spending the time for all of us to enjoy…Merry Christmas and looking forward to your Photo’s in 2017…
Great pictures !!!
Spencer and Jim: Long time no see! Best wishes from another Forster alumnus!
I always enjoy all the photos – those of the birds especially today. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks to all for these beautiful pictures, you can almost feel the cold by looking at them, it’s impossible to pick a favorite,,
