Fix sparrow passing through. #birds #mainebirds

Here in central and southern Maine it’s Big Night season when amphibians migrate to breeding pools. Tonight we helped 15 peepers and 3 wood frogs cross the road. We were too late for 8 peepers and 2 wood frogs, but that’s not bad since there were 46 cars!

In case changing the clocks didn’t make it real, a red winged blackbird showed up today to announce spring is here. Pix through my window. Arrival date pretty consistent with the past several years, though seems early! Also what passes for spring here is pretty much late winter. #birds #mainebirds

Escaped to the coast today. Outside time for the win! Then had an epic sunset at home. #Maine

Don’t worry about the ominous cloud. Everything’s fine! We’re all fine!

Snow buntings picked a brutally windy day to show up here in central Maine. Brrr. #birds #maine #mainebirds

I did a bunch of Christmas bird counting in December. Here is one of the 17 American tree sparrows we had in central Maine. #addBirder

The skating this winter has been absolutely epic. A few pix from around central Maine.
