Dear Katie,

As always, June was a big month for Nature Watchers! There were lots of photos in the group of different types of wildlife, including fledgling birds and turtles laying eggs. Want to see the rest? Click here to join the Facebook Group.

What are you seeing out there? We'd love to hear from you! Click here for more information about Harpswell Nature Watchers.

Can you spot the snake? If it hadn't moved I never would have seen it, just beside the trail going up the hill at Long Reach Preserve.
