Members of Downeast Audubon had a great bird anatomy lesson yesterday at College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor. Professor Brittany Slabach and student Ezra Rowe brought out many specimens for us to study, including skulls, feathers, feet and whole skeletons. Little details can tell so much about what a bird eats, where it lives and how it flies.

Happening tonight!
MIRACLE OF MONARCHS
Wednesday, September 16, 7:00 p.m.
Moore Community Center, 125 State Street, Ellsworth
This photographic presentation by Leslie Clapp will follow the Monarch Butterfly as it begins its life as a tiny egg on a milkweed plant in Maine, develops into a caterpillar, spends two weeks as a chrysalis, then emerges as a gorgeous adult that migrates all the way to Mexico for the winter. Experience what it is like to stand in the middle of the evergreen forest in central Mexico, surrounded by millions of Monarchs, just before they finally make their way back to the United States where they start the cycle of life once again.
Looking forward to sharing this fantastic story with you!!

End of the season, last minute decision...OPEN GARDEN DAY FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11 FROM 10-5 at Leslie and Blaise's in downtown Blue Hill. The meadows are in full bloom, don't miss them! Butterflies and other pollinators are plentiful. It's a nice place to be on a beautiful, late summer day. Take time to reflect on the past and realize how lucky we are to be in this area of Maine. Hope to see you in the garden with a smile. Park at the Blue Hill Baptist Church on Pleasant St.
