Gardiner’s birds enjoying the summer

Jul. 312020

Eastern meadowlarks (above) often nest in fields in central Maine. They can be identified by their bright yellow chests and a black “necklace” as well as the male’s beautiful flute-like song. The American Kestrel (below) is North America’s smallest falcon. This young male recently fledged from the safety of his nest box in West Gardiner. (Kshanti Green photos)
