Last evening, about 7:30, we saw a large wild cat cross the edge of the lawn. It was at least 4 times the size of a house cat and very muscular. We assume it was a lynx. It was moving up from the Mill Stream meadow towards Hinckley Ridge Road near St.Francis.

On Friday evening about 7 pm just west of the "graffiti boulders" on the Coastal Road entering Brooksville:
. . . A Wild Boar!
We came to a full stop and the boar stood in the middle of the road looking at us for a full minute, switching its long rope-like tail. We were perhaps 40 feet from the animal. It was the size of a very large dog (significantly larger than our 100 lb. Labrador), black or very dark brown, bristly, massive in the front, hairy ridge down the head and back, very skinny legs. We saw no tusks, and because, apparently, an adult wild boar can reach 400-600 lbs, we wonder whether this was a relatively young individual? It appeared fearless, eventually trotting off and then running into the blueberry fields to our left (towards Walker Pond).
Whence this boar?
I did telephone the game warden, Calvin Hale; he wasn't home, but his wife said yes, there have been a few sightings of a boar (or boars?) in the vicinity of Caterpillar Hill during the past two months.

May 17. Wood Thrush -- No. Deer Isle (Ann Hooke,Sal Rooney). Although the species is generally found in southern Maine,Margaret Hundley's book says it may have even nested on Deer Isle Prior to 1970.
May 27. Redstart. No. Deer Isle, uncommon of late in our woods.
June 2. Bowcat (Deer Isle Causeway) Longtailed Duck -- laate!, also two Surf Scoter.
Bald Eagle chicks in Carney nest are thriving. Come see them June 17 with Leda Beth Gray and others 10:00-3:00.
A crow nest 100 ft. from our house was raided repeatedly the past few days. We found pin feathers in 3 clumps on the ground -- the work of a raccoon?
