UPDATE! UPDATE!

Much to share! I will start with the daily event on the Rustic Beach.  Let's call it the Sunrise Gathering.
I 'm adding a shot of our early morning group starting to meet, some of the boats beginning the day hopeful for the catch of the day, and several special bird visits.

Great White Heron (white morph of the Blue Heron)

The early morning folks start to gather!

Rare version of the Great Blue Heron called the Wurduman's(spelling)
showed up every morning for three days straight

Typically only seen in Keys.  Possibly result of a cross of Great Blue and Great White

On the Nature Trail we noticed the Seven Year Apple Tree blooming and bearing fruit at the same time.  Seemed quite unusual!  A buck was relaxing along the trail as well.  I didn't even have to zoom in on him.

In the Bird Pond we had another treat this week when three Roseate Spoonbills stopped by for several days.  We caught one picture with a "spooning" Spoonbill (on left) along side a Reddish Egret.

For our final note, I want to tell you that we have been offered a chance to be campground hosts

for two months this summer on the Kenai Penisula in ALASKA!  The name of the campground is Klondike RV near the town of Soldotna on the Kenai River.  Are we excited or what??  We have arranged to work from June 10 to mid-August (three days a week in exchange for camping) and then travel back to Maine across the northern tier of the United States.  So instead of coming back to Maine, we will be coming "home" in September. It was a door that opened so wide we realized it was meant to be for us at this time.  You will hear more about this as time goes by and the blog will share our travels to and from Alaska.  Alaska 2014!  Another dream adventure for the Daicey Duo!
