First stop this morning: Seal Cove Pond. It was only about a 10 minute drive from our house.
Bald eagle!!! This is the 2nd real-live bald eagle I've ever seen. The first was along Route 15 (I think) on the way home to NY.
A mysterious path along the shore...we didn't take it. We were saving our energy for...
The summit of Bernard Mountain! Yes, we made it to the top of a mountain! Bernard Mountain is 1071 ft. high, higher than Beech Mountain (839 ft.) which we didn't make it to the top of, but this was a much easier climb. And worth it!
Some pics of the trip up:
Fuzzy stuff growing on rocks.
Then on to Pretty Marsh, which was much less marshy than I expected.
And we found this cutie:
Either I keep seeing baby red squirrels, or they're smaller than the gray squirrels we have back home.
(OK, Wikipedia says the American red squirrel is a little larger than a chipmunk, so I guess these are adults.)
Then, into Bar Harbor to visit Bar Island. You can walk to this island during low tide via this sand bar:
Cool sighting here: saw a seagull dropping mussels onto the rocks to crack them open. Found some sea glass too, but mostly small pieces.
Back home for a late lunch, then Adam had a fabulous idea...jacuzzi!!! It felt so good on these sore muscles.
