Yes, Eastport is a working waterfront. Especially if you like lobster.

Black guillemot

The white marker on the wings of the bird’s black summer plumage make a striking identity. It’s one of the many waterfowl species I’m being introduced to far from my native Midwest.

Machias River

The 75-mile-long Machias River is Maine’s leading salmon habitat and was a major lumbering stream. There is little settlement or paved-road access upstream from here, the bridge in Whitneyville.

We’re not overrun with them, unlike Bar Harbor and points south and west.

Here are “four for the Fourth,” a sampling from last year’s pyrotechnics display. The photos were taken from maybe 200 feet away from the firing line on the Fish Pier. It’s always a fine festive event along the waterfront.

Have a happy and safe Fourth of July.

Lubec blue-collar artist Chuck Kniffen created Rosebud, above, and Unicorn, below, from debris found along the shoreline.
