Today on my walk to school, I saw this pile of giant wood chips and when I looked up, I saw these odd gouges in the side of the tree. This is the tree that woodpecker was in yesterday. Wow. That's some serious damage.
Mainiacs is a revered term, only given to those who are 5th generation (or more) born in Maine. If you were born in Maine but you are 1st - 4th generation, you're a Mainer. Everyone else is just "a person from away". I came to Maine for "just one semester," but now I'm "tenure track" which means I'm here to stay for a while. As I was in those first few months, I am very excited about this adventure and the chance to meet the great people of Maine.

3/12/08 More birds
Walking to school this morning, I heard birds. Spring must really be in the air, right? But they're crows! First woodpeckers, now crows?! Where are the red robins and the chickadees? This is an odd set of birds to be the first of the spring season. I'm guessing it's an anomaly, but further research may be required.
