I still have another month before the hummingbirds return, but in a sure sign of spring, all the Osprey returned here over the last couple of days. It's like they all booked the same flight!

I just put out a seed feeder in my backyard. In one day it is down 2/3rds of seed. I'm going to need a bigger bag!

I go through a 50lb bag of peanut pickouts and a 40lb bag of black oil sunflower seeds every month. In the winter I'll see 20-30 birds clustered in the trees around my feeding platform.

Yeah I will be interested to see how it goes through the summer and then into fall and winter. The chickadees (the Maine AND Massachusetts state bird) don't migrate, so it could be a very popular spot. In the meantime, back to Wild Birds Unlimited.

The North Atlantic can be a mean customer. I'm sure your pic, awesome as it is, doesn't do justice to the waves you saw.

True, pictures never do it justice, just like sunsets

I just love living 15 minutes from the coast now. Almost one year into retirement and the big move and zero regrets

I seriously miss the ocean. I used to love to go down to Nantasket Beach in MA and just sit on the sea wall watching the waves.

Soon I'll be closer to the coast! About a 10-15 minute drive...can't wait

Popped up to Acadia for a couple of days, so of course it rained almost the whole time. At least the hotel had a very nice bar!

Killer shot. (Pun intended.) Were you on a bridge or something? How did you get that POV?

Thanks and yes, shot from a bridge, lined by photogs. I took over 4 thousand pictures last weekend

And the run really hasn't even begun in earnest yet!
