Just some favorite images from 2019.
Great Gray Owl … Alberta, Canada 01/12/19.
I had such a great time following several pairs of nesting loons this year. Loons have a special place in my heart. I love to follow the same pairs from year to year. The Mt Desert Island loons had a great year with 8 chicks making it to fledge. Common Loon and chick 08/02/19.
Acadia National Park, Maine 07/03/19.
This was a gift. Eagles never let you get too close, but this one did. As I paddled back from the loon chicks, I passed this beautiful Bald Eagle. It didn’t seem to mind my presence. Acadia Park, Maine 07/01/19.
I had the pleasure to travel with good friends up to Alberta, Canada twice this year, We were lucky to see several Great Gray Owls. This was from the second trip in October. Great Gray Owl 10/22/19.
Northern Flickers, Bar Harbor, Maine 06/28/19.
This was also from the second trip to Alberta, Canada. It is so cool to see one of these incredible animals. We were lucky to see many. It was below zero on a few days, but well worth the pain lol. Moose … Jasper, Canada 10/27/19.
