DAMSELFLY LOVE - Ebony Jewelwing Damselflies mate along the brook from the beaver pond. Damselflies are in the family with dragonflies and are small, slender and hold their wings over their backs while perching, while dragonflies are larger and hold their wings outstretched while at rest.

TALKING GULLS - A Ring-Billed Gull speaks up about a hot day on the Maine Coast. Bird expert David Allen Sibley described the Ring-Billed Gull as a medium-size gull common across the continent near any water. It often hangs around beaches raiding picnics and unattended snacks. This one was taking a break from snack raids at Cape Neddick Beach in Maine.

WOW JELLYFISH - A tide pool walker's shadow next to a Lion's Mane Jellyfish on Cape Neddick Beach, Maine. The Lion's Mane is one of the largest known species of jellyfish. While they are typically 8-14 inches (like this one) - the largest recorded species was measured off the coast of Massachusetts in 1865 and had a bell with a diameter of 7 feet. Even though this one did not live up to the Lion's Mane namesake of long showy tentacles - it was a cool spot on a day at the beach.
