Last Sunday morning I was guiding some bass fishing clients on Megunticook Lake in Camden. When we were surprised by a pair of loons. The loons came from a considerable distance behind us. Actually my clients came from a more considerable distance, but I digress. Each loon swam under the boat seconds apart (they were visible passing by in the clear water) and came up only a few feet away. In hindsight it was one of the best photo opportunities I have ever had to get an image of a loon; they were so close that the green neck band was very prominent in the sunlight.

It rained heavily again Sunday night and today we have drizzle and fog. This June is the wettest on record and I would guess that the number of sunny days is pretty low. The tidal portion of the Saint George looks like a chocolate milkshake and the freshwater section is out of its banks. Not very conducive weather for the sort of outdoor activities that Maine Outdoors offers in the summer.

This June sure has been cold and wet until today. I keep bringing in a little more wood for the stove and thinking that will be the last of it. Of course we all complain about the chilly damp weather but when I looked back in my notes early June is almost always cool and damp. The real question is when will the summer weather start. Since my calendar is pretty full after this week I am hoping for the change in the next few days. But who really knows?
