April so far has been fairly typical for the term “April Showers” as it has been fairly rainy and cool 40° weather. The sightings of Robins are eagerly sought by Mainers because their presence usually means Spring has began. Up until this past weekend I have not yet spotted a Robin, I have seen and heard flocks of Black cow birds which migrate to northern Maine during Spring.
Robin and I drove Route 9 from Brewer to Ellsworth and then to Prospect Harbor to visit her parents. On the way we spotted many large groupings of Robins; we stopped alongside a field snapping photographs while listening to them sing. I never really paid attention to how much Robins actually run until now since my Robin is a runner. During our visit we drove through the Scoodic Loop so I can see what the coast’s shoreline looked like during spring. With the tide out it revealed many jagged lava formed rocks and ledge with a mixture of smooth water worn slide-like caves where the waves crash and restreat over and over. Summer and fall are the coasts best seasonal vistas however the it’s still beautiful during the Spring.
