| Moose Tour Date | Sightings & Notes | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Sunday August 22 | We took to the roads and the water for this all wildlife tour. In our travels we spied a bull and cow moose. Eagles, loons and herons made their daily appearance. We also saw a Common Snapping Turtle. Snappers as they are sometime called can weigh upwards of 40lbs and are the second largest of the freshwater turtles in North America with the Alligator Snapping Turtle weighing in at 130-140lb! They typically eat meat and can strike out at prey as fast as a rattlesnake! | ||
| Saturday August 21 | Our early risers today saw a cow moose and a number of bird species on their AM Moose Tour. Soon it will be time to keep our eyes out for those migrating south! Loons, herons, geese as well as terns and duck species will head to the coast or south soon to take advantage of open water. | ||
Friday August 20
| PM Pontoon Boat Tour. Heading up Millinocket Lake is a birders paradise. Sighting this evening includes common terns, eagles, and loons. During our motor up Mud Brook we found a cow moose and painted turtle. Interestingly enough Painted turtles can leave to be 60 years old! | ||
| Thursday August 19 | AM and PM paid off for our tour. We saw a bull and cow moose, a huge snapping turtle and birds. Osprey, eagle, loons and herons are all in abundance on our Millinocket Lake and Mud Brook. Osprey are one of the largest bird of prey in North America and can be found on all continents except Antarctica. Identify them by their white breast and bellies and black back and wings. Fish make up 99% of their diet. | ||
| Wednesday August 18 | Another PM Pontoon Boat tour…this one has a twist though! We were lucky enough to spy black bear cub! To compliment this incredible sighting we also saw a bull moose and four blue herons. | ||
| Sunday June 20th

PM tour by van and boat. We saw 3 big Bulls in River Pond during an evening rainshower. And as the sun broke we motored into Grant Brook in the Pontoon boat where 3 young bulls enterained us as the sun set. Hot weather is definitely bringing the Moose into the ponds to feed. | ||
