Mother's Day Eagle

While sitting on our dock on Sunday afternoon, we saw a large bird swoop low over the water, grab a fish, and head toward the Lion's Camp beach. We weren't sure until we found him (her?) with binoculars. It WAS an eagle.

She sat on a tall, pine tree branch right on the beach, slowly eating her catch. I ran up to the house to get my camera and made it back just as she took flight.  I didn't have time to set up the shots, exposures, etc.. Just enough time to point and shoot. Here are the results.

Low Water

While the rain has helped things improve since the beginning of May, we are still 12-15" below the normal water level for this time of year. The top of this rock is usually below the surface of the water in late Spring.

Merrymeeting Lake seems to be rising slower than surrounding bodies of water. Most of them are back to normal levels.
