I haven't been able to keep up with the dead porcupines this season, not so many locally but on I95 and other roads from Augusta up there seems to be a over abundance. Also have seen many dead young woodchucks on I95 and a few live deer. I haven't been adding them to the list because it's difficult for me to come close to locations. On loon count day I saw 4 young kingfishers with Mom, 3 young mergansers with Mom, a blue heron, and osprey as well as two loons. For the second year we've had a hawk family in residence at home.

I found this obvious new born or fetus outside in my front yard this morning. How do I get a pic of it on this blog? I would love to have it identified. I think it might be in the fisher family. Thanks

I have passed thru Fairfield and Skowhegan 3 times in the past weeks and have seen large flocks of crows in fields next to Rt 20. I'm sued to seeing 10-15 in a flock but these looked closer to 50 and up. A friend was in that area on I95 closer to Pittsfield the wknd before Thanksgiving and saw a huge flock flying by. she said the sky was black with crows

passing over Rt 11 between Brownville Junction and Millinocket 9/7 afternoon, I passed 2 groups of turkeys, 2 birds and 3 birds. This stretch of road is barren of anything except a few hunting camps and cut over woodland, very wild
