Lovely afternoon at Schoodic yesterday. Hiked up Schoodic Head at about 1:30pm or so. At the bottom of the road there were GCKinglets all throughout trees and loud chorus of wood frogs in pool with beaver lodge. As we approached the top, there was a tremendous cacophany of courting herring gulls circling overhead--went on for a long time. Also had RB Nuthatches and DE Juncos. When we looped down the Schoodic Head Trail and back to the pool, the wood frogs had gone quiet by about 3-4pm-ish(?).
-- There were many Common "Idlers" down at the Point itself and all around towards Blueberry Hill. One black scoter, M/F pairs of black duck and common goldeneye, female buffleheads. And just before BB Hill parking lot about 15-20 harbor seals (some enormous--pregnant?) loafing and shuffling around out on the rock ledges. With seals were herring gulls, greater BB gulls and two eared grebes in breeding plumage--a treat!
