One benefit of an early morning commute? Sensational sunrises. Photographer Jerry Rhodes takes a road that brings him along portions of Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge in Maine. He'll give himself plenty of extra time for his commuting time just to stop along the way, taking in the views at Middle Barn Meadow Marsh and Moosehorn’s stunning landscape.

From the Center for Biological Diversity:

This male American woodcock has some glide in his stride and some dip in his hip. Here he is performing an early morning "sky dance" to woo the woodcock ladies in springtime at Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge in Maine.

Meet the American Woodcock or Timberdoodle from the Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge in Calais, Maine. I am not sure what it’s hearing but it must be pretty funky for it to dance like that!

In the fall, the leaf display in the northern woods of Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge in Maine is simply breathtaking. The forest is made up of maple, aspen, birch, spruce and fir trees. The refuge is named for Moosehorn stream, a waterway within its boundaries. Black bears are often spotted foraging under apple trees in the fall. White-tailed deer and moose feed in the clearings. Coyotes, snowshoe hares, beaver and river otters may be seen when you explore some of the 50 miles of available trails. Photo by Keith Ramos, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

This bird has better moves than me. #Repost @texasparkswildlife (@get_repost) ・・・ This American Woodcock has some sweet moves. Usually hidden in forests, one was spotted at the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge near Austin. Dancing is #BetterOutside! 📷 Keith Ramos @usfws from Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge in Maine https://www.instagram.com/p/BviTg4Vg9PQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1116fj14nzkys

what's something cool to do in Maine? I've always wanted to go but I don't know what's there past Portland and bar harbor

You should absolutely go to Maine if you get the chance! Here are my favorite things to do in the state:

1) I mentioned this in a previous ask, I think, but Schoodic Peninsula my favorite part of Acadia National Park. It’s much less crowded than Mount Desert Island and it has some lovely, isolated campsites, plus it has the ideal combination of conifer forests and ocean fog so it’s very New England Gothic.

2) Go on a Puffin Cruise to Machias Seal Island! These trips book up literally years in advance but are so so worth it when you get feet away from the little guys, so if you have the time to plan way ahead, I can’t recommend it enough! There are also a lot of tours out of Bar Harbor that don’t land on the island and just give you a view from the water, which is still worthwhile (puffins are the best!).

 There are also a ton of less frequented nature and history boat tours out of Bar Harbor. The islands just off the coast there are fascinating and well worth a trip.

3) Blueberry Mountain is a really different experience, combining a great hike with the ability to pick and eat wild blueberries as you go. 

On the topic of blueberries, Wild Blueberry Land is one of the weirdest roadside attractions in the state, and it’s a ton of fun to visit. There is a truly astonishing amount of blueberry themed food and merchandise available, as well as some small blueberry theme park attractions. 

4) If you are in the Portland area, the International Crytozoology Museum is there, so if you’re interested in cryptids, definitely check that out.

5) Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge has a ton of cool hiking and canoeing spots, and it’s a lot more quiet than a lot of the state.

Fall colors are popping up at Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge. This eastern Maine wildlife refuge is the perfect place to take in autumn’s bright reds, oranges and yellows. Where is your favorite place for fall colors? Photos by Keith Ramos, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Some birds get up early for the worm and some dance for it! The back and forth sway, as performed by this American woodcock, is thought to help the birds detect unsuspecting earthworms. If you like these sweet moves, you'd likely love the spring courtship flights of the woodcock as well. But for now, just keep on dancing for snacks. Photo: Woodcock rocking and eating an earthworm at Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge in Maine by Keith Ramos, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Cotton candy skies melt into a blissful sunset at a wildlife haven in coastal Maine. Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge is the northernmost refuge in the Atlantic Flyway, a migratory bird route that stretches from Greenland to South America. Shorebirds and songbirds flit amongst the streams and marshes that weave through the landscape. The wetland shores are a sanctuary of breeding grounds for migratory birds. In mid-May, Magurrewock Marsh abounds with geese and ducks who have stopped to rest on their journey northward. Photo by Keith Ramos, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
