Travels: Maine Critters
Although I uploaded a ton of pictures to iNaturalist, trying ID the various flowers, trees, and shrubs, I also saw a variety of more mobile creatures. (And also uploaded them to iNaturalist)
I mean, look how adorable!!!!
Long-claw Hermit Crab Pagurus longicarpus
Common Eider Somateria mollissima
Black Guillemot Cepphus grylle
Harbor Seal Phoca vitulina
Common Loon Gavia immer (with chicks!)
Green Frog Lithobates clamitans (hiding in a tamarack)
American Bullfrog Lithobates catesbeianus
Once again I was desperately wishing for a good zoom lens when I was trying t get good pictures of these creatures whose details I couldn’t make out with the naked eye. But I don’t think I did too bad with what I had.
