Not everyone knows what they want to be when they grow up, but there may be hints along the way.

In Nature Spring! At Least According To Bald Eagles
The raggedy old white pine I see from my window is a favorite perch for eagles watching for prey on the upper Damariscotta River – at least when the American flag isn’t flapping beside the tree.

Stories from the Shelter On To The Next
As I often do with a new year, this January, I find myself reflecting on the last several whirlwind years I have had with Midcoast Humane and thinking about what our future holds. We held a town hall at the Central Lincoln County YMCA on Nov. 21 to discuss exactly that for our Edgecomb campus.
