Outdoors

What did I do??  I seriously don't know how this happened.  I'm speechless.  Or, perhaps I did it to reach my post goals on b985.fm.  The world will never know.  No, but seriously...on Saturday there was ZERO reason for the window to be open.  I was in the vehicle for 3 straight hours and NEVER noticed the window down.  I then proceeded to back the S U Bee into the parking spot at the studio lot a

Maine fishing regulators are implementing targeted closures in several scallop fishing areas to try to protect the valuable shellfish from over-harvest.

A lot of people like to feed birds this time of year, but you have to feed them the right stuff…bird feed. It’s not unusual for people to put out bread but that’s really not good for them.

Thanks to recent snow storms we have had; there will be plenty of snow for the 5th Annual Spruce Mountain Sled-IN this Saturday in Jay.

Federal authorities are reminding people to keep away from baby seals they might see on the shore in Rockland and other areas in Maine.

Maine lawmakers are considering a bill that would make it easier for older residents to hunt deer.

There could be a new coveted lottery in Maine, and the prize would be wet and wriggly, a proposal to create a new lottery system to allow people into Maine's big-money baby eel fishery.

What a helpless feeling it must have been to come across such an amazing animal...stuck.  That's exactly how brothers, Rick & Josh James, felt when they were snowmobiling in Rangeley, Maine with other family members.  Had they not come across this helpless moose, it surely would have died there.

Once again this year the Camden Snowbowl will have a three-day weekend of outdoor fun and competition. It’s the sport of wooden toboggan racing.

This morning, Punxsutawney Phil will make his grand appearance.  This overgrown gerbil has been predicting the weather since 1887 and has become quite a yearly tradition in Pennsylvania.  If the groundhog sees his shadow...more winter.  If he doesn't see his shadow...no winter!

A powerful winter storm in California has brought down an ancient tree, carved into a living tunnel more than a century ago.

Back in July, I did a little reminicing down memory lane during the Morning Buzz.  I remembered going to a waterpark in Waterville when I'd visit with my family, in Maine, during the summer.  I reached out to listeners to see if anyone else remembered this or was it merely a figment of my imagination.

What a gem! This is a promotional video for the Maine Department of Economic Development from the Northeast Historic Film YouTube page. With 1950's footage of basically every tourist destination in Maine, this is like something out of Back To The Future...

I heard the local weatherman hint that we could be getting snow over the Thanksgiving Day holiday. When I was a kid that meant time to get the sled and have some fun. My go to sledding spot when I was growing up in Lewiston was at Davis Mountain at Bates College.

In this amazing timelapse video from Ron Risman on Vimeo, you can actually see the rotation of the Earth as the Milky Way rises above Northeast Harbor.

How about this for a new record, running across America in record time. Leaving San Francisco on September 12 and arriving in New York on October 24. Pete Kostelick did it.
