Birds of a Feather
Many Cedar Waxwings grouped together in a tree at Lobster Cove on Monhegan Island.
Cedar Waxwings
These beautiful birds were seen perched on an apple tree on Monhegan Island. Cedar Waxwings have the unique specialty of eating a high-fruit diet, which may explain their fondness for this tree.
Eider Crèche
Eider hens often pool their chicks together for extra protection. It is a great time of year to come to Monhegan and see young wildlife such as this!
