Maine Moose Tours Report

It was a lovely morning for a wildlife tour and Paul was able to get his small group of 2 on the NEOC pontoon boat. As the group made their way to Big Mud Brook they saw an osprey, a belted kingfisher, cormorants and a whitetail doe along with the amazing scenery of Katahdin overlooking Millinocket Lake.

It was the perfect evening for a scenic wildlife tour via kayak and Tallie was happy to get 2 guests out on one of our local ponds for a paddle. The group enjoyed the calm waters and were able to see an eagle, Canada geese, bull frogs and they heard the eerie sounds of a fisher nearby.

On this steamy day, Matt was the guide for both morning and evening and had a full boat of 12 for each. In the morning, they saw loons and kingfishers, black ducks and an otter. In the evening they were able to see geese and cormorants, a muskrat and a beaver.

Matt was busy today with 3 different wildlife/sightseeing tours beginning in the morning with a solo guest eager to get out on Millinocket Lake to see the sights which included loons and terns, kingfishers and a cormorant, an eagle, a snapping turtle and an otter. On the afternoon sightseeing tour the group of 11 enjoyed a beautiful boat ride with breathtaking scenery. In the evening, Matt gathered a group of 8 guests and made his way to Big Mud Brook. Along the way they encountered loons and kingfishers, an eagle, a cormorant and a painted turtle.

This morning our Maine Guide, Paul ushered 2 guests onto the NEOC pontoon boat and set off for Big Mud Brook where they saw loons and kingfishers, Canada geese and cormorants, an eagle and a deer. On the evening tour with Matt as our guide and a group of 10 on the boat the sightings were mallards and kingfishers, mergansers, 2 bald eagles, an otter and a baby beaver.

It was a crisp morning with a touch of fall in the air as Bob and a full boat of 12 guests set sail across Millinocket Lake. The lake was as calm as could be and the group enjoyed the gorgeous scenery with Katahdin looking down upon them while they caught sight of loons and turtles.

It was a beautiful, clear morning now that the wildfire smoke has finally left the area and our Maine Guide, Bob was able to get out on the lake with 3 guests aboard the pontoon boat. As the group made their way towards Big Mud Brook they saw loons and turtles. In the afternoon, Paul was our guide and he gathered 5 guests together for a midday sightseeing tour. Imagine their surprise when they saw not only loons and turtles but also a bull moose! It is unusual to see a moose in the middle of the day in August. Nice job Paul. (See photo below)

With the smoke from the Canadian wildfires still in the air, Matt and 7 guests set out on Millinocket Lake in search of some Maine wildlife. As they made their way towards Big Mud Brook they were able to see loons and kingfishers, an osprey and a black duck with babies.

With another busy day on tap, Matt started the day with a group of 11 guests onboard the pontoon boat. The trip was literally for the birds as they saw an osprey, a black duck with babies and 27 mergansers. By the time the evening tour rolled around, so did the wildfire smoke from the Canadian fires. Matt was the guide once again with 10 guests. As they glided across the lake, looking through the hazy smoke-filled sky they were delighted to see loons and kingfishers, an eagle, a painted turtle, a beaver and a cow moose with calf.

Matt was busy on this first day of August with both our morning and evening wildlife tours. To start the day he had 3 guests on the NEOC pontoon boat en route for Big Mud Brook. As they made their way across the lake they got to see loons and kingfishers, 3 osprey, painted turtles and 3 deer. On the evening tour, Matt had a group of 11 onboard and they were thrilled to see loons, a merganser duck with ducklings, a great blue heron and a bull moose! What a great way to start August!

On this final day of July our we had 2 wildlife tours with 2 different guides. In the morning we had Paul at the wheel of the pontoon boat with 5 guests onboard. Along their jaunt across Millinocket Lake they were able to see 3 deer and a kingfisher. For our evening tour with a full boat of 12, Matt was our guide heading for Big Mud Brook. They saw kingfishers and geese, terns and beavers.

After a nice vacation our Maine Guide, Bob was back in action this morning with a family of 4 on the pontoon boat. The boat ride was glorious on this balmy morning and the scenery wasn’t bad either. As they rode along to Big Mud Brook they saw loons and ducks, kingfishers and an osprey.
