Here are a few sketchbook pages from a trip to the Maine woods last week. Students Island is a short paddle on Mooselookmeguntic Lake from the headquarters of the Stephen Phillips Memorial Preserve in Oquossoc, Maine.
We spent three nights roughing it and cooking over a campfire. Wildlife highlights included seeing at close range a family of mergansers chasing down and feeding on silvery minnows flashing in the afternoon sun. There were loons, cormorants, sandpipers and bald eagles. No moose but the red squirrels serenaded us in camp and as we hiked around the island. —We have our campsite reserved for next year :)
