The first visitor is a female American Goldfinch. Later there are Chickadees, Chipping Sparrows and a Song Sparrow. But the real show is the male American Goldfinch. He looks around for a long time to see if it's going to be okay then he.... You'll just have to watch between 2:30 and 3:30!

Sunday in Acadia National Park

Cadillac from Schoodic Head
Few saw this awesome scene

I climbed Schoodic Head and descended The Anvil with my father-in-law on Sunday afternoon. The picture above is looking west across Frenchmen Bay towards Bar Harbor from the highest point on the Head, one of the few open views on the Schoodic Peninsula side of Acadia National Park. Cadillac Mountain is the only feature high enough to be out of the fog bank.

This is a wonderfully low-traffic part of the park. We did see four parties, but while atop Schoodic Head, we were all alone.

Veazie summer

Tufted Titmouse
Tufted Titmouse

It's good to be back in Veazie for the summer. What a great day this has been! I had plenty of time to wait for feeder visitors. There has been a Cardinal coming by, but this Tufted Titmouse makes a good frame too.
