Details

 Can you see the Black-throated green warbler in the spruce tree?
Given the dampness of the woodlands, trees are sometimes covered in lichens.

Forest and Sea

 Spruce trees in Spring. They seem to be the dominant tree on the island.
 The trails through the forest are enchanting.
 The rocks are gabbro - a type of intrusive igneous rock formed in a volcano but not extruded like basalt.

Foggy days

 Julie! Don't jump!
It was cloudy and sometimes rainy for our whole 6 days but an island is beautiful in these conditions.

The cliffs on Monhegan are some of the highest on the eastern coast.

Two more friends arrive on the ferry - Dede & Ken.

Birding friends

Here we are st Shining Sails B&B. Samuel, Micky, Julie, David Gross, David Peak-Jones, Elizabeth. Always on the look-out for birds.
