It’s the last day camping north of Acadia NP in
Maine. The view couldn’t be better (pic below) while putting together this week’s
Blog. Kayaking at an ocean bay earlier
in the week presented wildlife picture opportunities. While paddling along, pogeys ( bait fish) started to jump out of the
water. A good sign was pushing them to the surface. With fish jumping, ospreys started
to circle. Then a young harbor seal popped up out of the water presenting a nice
pic opportunity. My next challenge was to see if I could take a photo of an osprey
catching a fish. Paddling along again, pogeys started surfacing. No seals were
seen , but I was able to get an osprey diving and catching a fish. It’s not an awesome
pic but better than anything I have to date. An interesting observations the last two weeks,
eagles will harass an osprey in attempt to get it to drop its catch and
roosting eagles are harassed by seagulls.
