Seal - Schoodic Peninsula, Acadia National Park. Saw it on Shabbos, so no picture. You will have to take my word for it. It was extremely cute. You will have to take my word for that also.
Something With a Dorsal Fin - Schoodic Peninsula, Acadia National Park
Possibly an orca? A porpoise? The trick is, when you see seabirds circling a spot in the ocean, there is usually some predator in the area.
This is the Seagull Who Stole My Lunch - Schoodic Peninsula, Acadia National Park
This is how it went down. First, he landed nearby. He kept hopping closer. We shooed him away. And then! When I was distracted taking pictures of the dorsal fin pictured above, he swooped in from behind and grabbed the wrap right out of my hand! He gobbled down the wrap and left the filling. But the joke was on him! The wrap was low carb.
Porcupine - Somewhere in these bushes. He didn’t hang around to pose.
I’d never seen a porcupine in the wild before!
