We were passing through Holden and spotted two gorgeous male hooded mergansers in the stream behind Dorsey's Furniture Store. Monday, March 13. Robins returned to our yard here in Lincolnville. They were eating the berries on the Eastern red cedar trees, and then they sat high in these trees and looked like they were waiting for the snow to melt so that they could graze on the bare ground. J.E. Tuesday, March 14.
Turkeys seem to have survived the winter in our area.
We observed 12 turkeys from our kitchen window Saturday morning on the edge of our field about 200 yards away. J.B. Tuesday, March 14. The deer herd which lives in the woods behind the village on the east side of the Kenduskeag Stream, made their first appearance in the fields between the village and the woods, on March 7. There are about 35 in the herd and they have been seen daily since then except on the day of the recent snow storm on Sunday. By the way, we got 6.5 inches of snow before it turned to freezing rain, and then rain.
