Maine Things Monday: Seaside Romance
April 23, 2012
Spring mating amongst birds is ever-present right now. They’ve been busy doing their dance and if you’re lucky {pun possibly intended} you’ll catch them in action. On a recent hot, sunny day I walked over to Casco Bay Ferry Lines to pick up tickets to Peaks Island. The party boats and ferries were proudly sitting atop the sun-sparkling water; the sea gulls were calling; the salt air was blowing!
Then I glanced over and right next to “Island Romance” were two pigeons doing a choreographed dance. It was as if Cole Porter’s “Let’s Do It, Let’s Fall in Love” was playing in the distance, coming off the ocean like a fog, setting the scene.
Contrary to what some may believe, Mother Nature must think we do need more pigeons! The old song and dance goes on…
