It looks like snail eggs.

You've got the timeline right. Sadly I wasn't there to see the bat he found. Did it survive- did you release it again? Poor thing, but cool to see up-close

Heya Rain! What bat that Andy found? This is one of the ones that was caught when the researchers were in the park doing mist netting one night and we went out to help.
p.s. I hope I get to find some mist-netting to help with at Acadia this spring...so much fun!

Great, thank you both. Pretty sure I knew it was a mourning dove back when I took it ;) Still a birding newbie..

Yeah, I'll admit...I had to ask one of my herper friends ;) I'm not good with my baby snake ID...they can be so much more colorful and patterned than the adults!

CSC-Snake: yeah, just added that to my description. I think it was found in one of the funnel traps (though I don't recall with that particular snake for sure..sometimes we'd find them just outside of traps, or in the pitfall bucket in the middle.) Part of a study I worked as a technician for.

Thanks. How do you know it's the bog species?

igorneau: haha, thanks :) and yep, it definitely looks like a slime mold!

Emily: yeah, it does look like that, doesn't it...I thought at the time that was the top of the head...I thought there was a jaw on it...but now it does look like a pelvic bone... clearly I didn't look long and hard enough. We moved the bones around, so it's not how they were initially laid out

Awesome..it's great. And a few of these pictures were all from this one little spot, hidden between these big rock faces, tucked away behind my campsite, and there was just so much moisture collected in there that moss was on Everything...it was magical and beautiful. So if you get a chance, do some extra exploring around, and you may just come upon one of these amazing little spots.
