  1. #MaineAudubon Webinar - #Serviceberry

    Wednesday May 6, 5:30-7 pm
    Led by Andrew Tufts

    Free program, donations encouraged. Registration required.

    "Serviceberry marks a key seasonal transition in Maine, blooming as migratory #birds and #pollinators arrive. This webinar examines serviceberry’s role in forest edges, open woodlands, and rocky landscapes, and how these ecologically rich habitats support #biodiversity. Participants will also learn how edge communities translate into parks, trails, and residential landscapes.

    Natural Communities & Seasonal Change is a three-part spring learning series that combines monthly webinars with guided field experiences to explore #Maine’s #NativePlant communities through the lens of seasonal #phenology. The series focuses on how #NativeTrees and shrubs signal ecological change, support #wildlife, and shape both natural and human landscapes. Participants will build skills in observation, #PlantIdentification, and reading the landscape as spring unfolds."

  2. The Iberian hare (Lepus granatensis) is a fast and alert native of the Iberian Peninsula, capable of reaching speeds over 70 km/h when threatened. Despite its athletic build, moments like this, quietly grazing, reveal the calm, routine behaviors that sustain its high-energy life.

  10. Working the Dock

    At the marina’s edge, the Ruddy Turnstones scurried along the green planks like tiny dockside inspectors.

    Note my yellow #BirdBuddy in the top right corner, supported by a small solar panel.
