If you’ve hiked the Red Maple Swamp Trail at Fort Hill in the past couple of years, you have probably noticed the clearings of vegetation along the way. These were cleared to give the area needed light and room for the Red Maple seedlings to grow.
As you can see in the photograph, each seedling has a pink flag to identify it. Wow! There sure are a lot of Red Maple seedlings growing in each clearing. Kudos to the national park workers in making this happen! It will be fun to watch them grow.
You can still see all the Cormorants congregating in “the rock” at Rock Harbor. They love to perch up there and spread their wings to dry them!
Pretty soon they will be gone for the winter and we’ll await their arrival next spring and look forward to seeing them atop “the rock” at Rock Harbor again.
There are still a lot of boats in the water at Arey’s Pond Boat Yard in Orleans. Many sailors took advantage of the gorgeous, warm weather that we had last week and got out on the water for another sail before the cold weather finally arrives. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
I edited this photo two different ways… I couldn’t decide which one I liked better. What do you think?
