Moose frequently move through and occasionally even sleep right in the yard, this one's a young bull that came by every few days last spring that I called "His Knobs."
A Common Raven cliffside-nest from last May with 2 youngsters getting ready to fledge, just below the cabin.
This tame but devilish neighborhood Red Fox might scoot out of the spruce to untie your bootlaces before scampering off again. He's asking me for more Snow Crab.
Bald Eagles are quite common here, this one is heading the "way" Pollets Cove. To the right of that strip of high meadow in the center are the stunning 400 foot cliffs of Otter Brook, my favorite day hike—about one hour each way from the cabin with one steep climb. The Lower End is rich with songbirds, seabirds, and other raptors.
Pilot whales cruise just offshore all summer long. Family pods can be seen and heard right from the cliffs or Lookout anytime the water's calm enough from June through September. Catch one of the many whalewatches out of Pleasant Bay, or bring your kayak to paddle among them. Big whales like Humpbacks and Fins and Minkes are often sighted as well. |
