Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge

Tuesday: For our two days off this week we headed to Moosehorn NWR to visit with Carolyn and Wally who are volunteering there for the summer.

On the way there we stopped at a few viewing areas on the road. We got great looks at this Bobolink.




This is a very far off picture of Mount Katadin. It is the highest point in Maine.
It is also the northern end of the Appalachian Trail.



Moosehorn NWR has several of these platforms for Bald Eagles. The Eagles haven’t used the platforms for nesting in several years. This one was just sitting.



Carolyn and Wally gave us a private tour of the place! The trails are only open to foot traffic for the public but we were able to drive into all the good spots! It was cloudy and a little misty throughout the day.

It wasn’t a very birdy day but Carolyn is very knowledgeable about the trees and flowers and we learned a lot.
