Somes Meynell Wildlife Sanctuary
The Somes-Meynell Wildlife Sanctuary is dedicated to conservation, research, and education in the Somes Pond-Long Pond watershed and beyond
Our 2026 loon calendar is finally available for purchase online! The calendar features many of Sanctuary Volunteer Ray Yeager's great photos, mostly from Mt. Desert Island's 2025 loon season, with image descriptions by me. There are many small inset photos illustrating loon behavior, development, and plumage changes in addition to the monthly feature photos. Not just a collection of great loon images, but they make good loon learning tools for those less loon literate than our loon group followers:) All proceeds support the Sanctuary's education and conservation programs. Regular size 8.5x11" (11x17" opened) are $25 and large size 11x17"(14x22") are $30. I just bought 12 to give to friends and family, and the shipping was $17. (I'm not sure what it is for sending just one).

We had to wait till the end of the day to see the sun at Somes Pond yesterday, but the light present in the short time before sunset more than compensated for its late arrival.

Great morning yesterday for our walk to Lower Breakneck Pond, which was mostly covered with thin ice thanks to calm conditions and low temps around 24°.
I took a quick look at Eagle Lake after the walk - still very low water level.
