My wife looking out over 50 to 100 year old trees in the University of Maine's Bog walk. Fun to feel as though you are turning into a giant as you leave the regular forest and stride through the tiny trees and carnivorous plants in the bog.

Great shot and beautiful colors! Must be a great Place for birdwatcing?

There are sharp shinned hawks that nest around the boggy area but I never have had any luck seeing them. I have better luck with the Ospreys near some neighboring wildlife refuges. (And power poles, where workers are not allowed to disturb the nests.) I have heard that an Osprey raised in a nest on a power pole will also look for a power pole when they are old enough to breed.

Thanks for your comment!
