Marginal Way 3/28/09 Maine



The weatherman predicted sunny and 62 degrees for Saturday. Well it was 39 windy and overcast/foggy instead. Beth and I walked from Perkins Cove to Ogunquit Beach. We bundled up and first walked over to the cove. A loon usually winters there. It is a prime wintering spot for a loon, because it is so sheltered. Sure enough the loon was there. A bunch of Harlequin ducks were on a rock. They are heading back to the Arctic for summer. A Loon in mid molt was on the ocean side by the shore. It's nice to see them changing back to summer colors. Various other ducks and seabirds were present on this foggy overcast afternoon.
