More pictures from our visits to Scarborough Marsh. I love this place, if I lived in Maine, I'd be here everyday.

Scarborough Marsh

 We visited friends in Maine a couple weeks ago and stopped at Scarborough Marsh for some birding. This is Maine's largest salt water marsh, covering 3100 acres. It's an amazing place for birds. Here's some of the ones we saw. I'll post more photos in the next blog.
