On this rainy evening, Paul gathered 2 guests and boarded the NEOC van on a search for some elusive Maine wildlife. As they drove around to some of Paul’s favorite spots they were graced with the sighting of a bull moose.

On this beautiful, sunny morning, Paul and a group of 6 set off in the NEOC van for parts unknown. Along their journey they encountered a bald eagle and a fox.

Despite the rainy forecast, Matt and 1 guest ventured out on the pontoon boat this morning to see the sights. They were very fortunate to see loons and ducks including ring necks and golden eyes, terns, a snapping turtle, beavers and both a cow and bull moose.

On this lovely spring evening our guide, Paul and 7 guests were once again in the NEOC van driving to some of our favorite wildlife watching spots. There were not many sightings today other than 1 turkey but the scenery as always was spectacular.

On this first day of June we had both a morning and evening wildlife tour. For the am tour we had Matt as our guide and he took his 3 guests into Baxter State Park via the NEOC van. The sightings were for the birds, as they saw a some mergansers, a partridge, ring necked ducks and a broad tail hawk. In the evening with Paul at the wheel and 3 guests in tow the group was happy to see a deer and a moose!

First trip of the season on the NEOC pontoon boat with Matt at the wheel and 2 guests in tow. As they made their way across Millinocket Lake towards Big Mud Brook they were delighted to see loons and golden eye ducks, a muskrat and tons-o-beaver. In addition to the wildlife they were treated to a spectacular sunset with Katahdin in the background.

With our scenic wildlife tours in full swing, and taking advantage of the break in the weather, Matt started our day in the NEOC van with 3 guests. The group enjoyed the beauty of the vibrant green vegetation and also had the pleasure of seeing a variety of ducks including mallards, mergansers and golden eyes as well as a cow moose grazing in Sandy Stream Pond. (See photos below)

For our evening tour Paul was our guide with a group of 11. As they made their way to some of our favorite spots the guests were thrilled to see a deer, a bobcat and 4 moose! Now that’s a heck of a way to celebrate Memorial Day 2025.

Matt was back at it again today with a group of 6 in the NEOC van heading to the usual spots. While searching along the drive they encountered 3 turkey vultures, 2 deer, and a whopping 4 moose including 2 bulls and 2 cows. Once more we had some happy guests.

Another cloudy, drizzly day in the Katahdin Region brings another evening wildlife tour for Matt and 2 guests. Baxter State Park was the destination this evening along with the Golden Rd and Brownville Rd. The group was not deterred by the dreary weather and were delighted to see a turkey, a hawk and 3 moose! We are having an incredible May.

It was a chilly 45 degrees this morning as our guide, Paul and 2 guests set out in the van for the Brownville Rd and Golden Rd. Along their journey they encountered 2 mallards and 1 bull moose.
