Nice evening to enjoy supper at Bug Light this evening.
I was surprised to see a Common Loon - full breeding plumage - like one would expect to find inland on a lake somewhere .
When checking out the SP Ospreys at the SMCC (Southern Maine Community College) nest, one of the birds brought a fish in - I had been told there were three young, but I was only able to detect two when the feeding began. They raised three here several years ago. Once they get bigger it will be easier to see how many there are. If you are not aware of the bird cams you should take a look in on at the Osprey nest on Hog Island - three young in that nest. http://explore.org/live-cams/player/live-osprey-cam Plus the Puffin burrow one. The chick has hatched.
Nothing else interesting bird wise in the harbor this evening, but besides the usual island ferry traffic and sail boats, the Pearl Mist, a medium sized cruise boat, departed the harbor while we were there. Those passengers had a great day to visit the Portland area.
Enjoy our summer weather.
