Mastodawn

Dans la tourmente des champs, le goglu des prés en pleine proclamation territoriale, perché au-dessus des hautes herbes où il veille sur son domaine.

I forgot @KateShaw had made another wonderfull episode.

“I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows.”
~ William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Speaking of #Rewilding, some new signs went up at nearby #CaliforniaFields in Southern #Maine! Looks like the #MaineDepartmentOfInlandFisheries finally acknowledged that there are some #EndangeredSpecies there, and put the pressure on #BlueTriton / #PolandSprings / #BigWater -- who had planted a bunch of pine trees in the field (to hide the drilled wells that they claim are "springs"). But now they have to take them down and restore the grasslands! (And it's full of #Milkweed which the #MonarchButterflies love!)

I’ve gone back and forth on the ID for this #bird. Based on the markings around the eye I think it’s a female #bobolink. Another possibility is a #dickcissel, but they aren’t seen that often in this area.
