A visit to the Maine Wildlife Park

With my good pals Gail and Joe.

We've been camping in their driveway for a few years.

But not anymore we're too big

but it's still fun to get together.

Me and Joe.

I made friends with a moose more or less.

He was being snotty and I was having trouble with

keeping my fingers out of the whole selfie thing.

Thus the face.

A bald eagle snarfing down a snack.

A coyote on the prowl.

Moose decided to be a bit more friendly.

Grrr on the fences though.

and this proud poser.

and totally blossoms.

They are quite snippy critters.

A lynx prowling around.

 

a red fox soaking up the sun.

And yes its red.

And I don't see it either LOL.

a golden eagle.

which looks mostly green

there was a lot of green going on.

A bear in a bush.

You don't see that too often.

Seriously.

It's a really cool refuge and this was

the right time of year to go.

Hardly anyone was there and the animals

were happy to be out.

 

Eagles and Vultures...Oh my

We were motoring down the Cascade Lakes Scenic Highway

which turned out to be a happening place  

when my eagle-eyed hubby spotted

an EAGLE.

Who doesn't stop for an eagle.

Said eagle was in a flapping frenzy with some vultures,

and we were trying to figure out what the to do is about

coming around to pretty sure it's roadkill.

So there were three against one, so the eagle went and got a pal.

 And they gawked.

 and gawked.

 Since the eagles weren't showing any action I focused

my attention on the vultures that were

fluttering about like gang of wasps.

 Swooping and sweeping.

I think the eagles were letting them wear out.

 You'll notice the sky changed every time I got pix.

 It was driving me nuts.

Sunny, gray, cloudy, really cloudy.

And then without warning the eagle made its move.

Lucky lucky shot.

Still no idea what they were in a flap about.
