Eclipse Day, Monday, April 8, 2024 at 3:34pm in Bass Harbor, we had 96.6% partiality. Very impressive...and lovely.

The crocus are here. See them at Bass Harbor Cottages.

This monarch butterfly stopped by before Tropical Storm Lee. Our milkweed garden has more than 75 plants and some have pods, slowly ripening. For more information, visit bassharborcottages.com

This male hairy woodpecker and its fledgling are perched close to the suet. Both males and females feed their young who will chase them around for food. Bring your bird book and see them at bassharborcottages.com for more information.

The Flower Moon sets over Bernard just after 5 am and on the opposite shore. Watch the moon, stars and planets from your private cottage on Bass Harbor. Visit bassharborcottages.com for more information.

The cold temperature (-5 degrees plus wind chill) at sunset created an interesting view of sea smoke over Blue Hill Bay. We are all looking forward to spring. Balmy air and blooming crocus.
Visit bassharborcottages.com and reserve your summer vacation.

This sharp-shinned hawk visited briefly - look at those big yellow feet! The bird feeders are out of sight to the left. The song birds were gone and it was very quiet.

A birding first in Bass Harbor - a juvenile Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker. See all of the birds of Bass Harbor when you stay at the Bass Harbor Cottages or visit us on-line at bassharborcottages.com.

Bass Harbor at low tide after a brief downpour. Watch for rainbows from your cottage at bassharborcottages.com.

07/07/2022

The monarch butterflies are back, flitting through the milkweed that are in full bloom close to the shore. The color contrast of the orange wings and mauve flowers is interesting. We have more than seventy plants this year and are hoping for lots of pods as well as coma, the fluffy white stuff. See them at bassharborcottages.com.

06/03/2022

The lupines are here. We expect them to peak within the week in different shades of lavender, purple and pink. See them at bassharborcottages.com.

05/14/2022

The late afternoon sun illuminates the forsythia and the goldfinches blend right in. See them at bassharborcottages.com.

Crocus are the first flower of the season and always welcome. Their bright color is cheering and they bloom from early March through the end of April. The same varieties bloom at different times, depending on their location. They will be followed by daffodils, iris and daylilies. See where they live at bassharborcottages.com Happy Spring.

10/20/2021

The milkweed pod has burst, sending fluffy coma out with each puff of air. Today was breezy and the coma rose and fell with each gust until it landed in its new home. We hope to see those plants next June. Visit the meadow where they live at bassharborcottages.com.

09/09/2021

This is Bass Harbor on an outgoing tide with Johns Island to the right. The dinghies are waiting for their boats to return from a day of fishing as the fog dapples the sky. Watch the weather change and visit us at bassharborcottages.com.

09/04/2021

This is the first monarch butterfly caterpillar of the season, almost three weeks later than last year. There are at least two more and we’re looking forward to watching them grow. See them in the meadow at bassharborcottages.com.

08/07/2021

This great blue heron is perching atop the pine tree next to the Pine Cottage - the bench is perfect for birding and watching the lobster boats come and go. We have seen three herons feeding at the shore at low tide. See where they live at bassharborcottages.com.

07/15/2021

If you look closely, you’ll see a bright, white, tiny spot on the closest milkweed leaf. The milkweed flower, meadow and Boat House Cottage are in the background. We are hoping that it is a monarch butterfly egg and we will watch closely. Our plants continue to thrive despite being eaten to stem by the monarch caterpillars last year. There were no pods or fluffy coma seeds and we were concerned that the colony would not survive. The plants began to emerge mid-May and there is a rosy blush in that part of the meadow.

05/23/2021

This is the first lupine 'spike' of the season which should go though mid-June. There will be many more in all shades of pink and purple. See where they live at bassharborcottages.com.

03/30/2021

The last posting, three weeks ago, showed the first crocus of the season. The color has exploded dramatically and every day more appear. One of the best things about crocus is that they self-sow throughout the garden, popping up in clusters in the most unlikely places, in the middle of a walkway or on the other side of the edging. If I’m lucky, I’ll transplant them before the foliage fades and they become invisible. See where they live at bassharborcottages.com.

03/09/2021

This crocus is the first of the season, two days later than last year. We eagerly await their arrival and more are expected shortly. If you look closely, you will see another flower bud and green leaves. Please visit us at bassharborcottages.com.
