One day last week I took a walk in Maine -- on the nearly mile long breakwater to the lighthouse in Rockland Harbor.

| The Rockland Harbor Breakwater Light. |
 |
| The breakwater that leads to the lighthouse is made of large stone blocks with cracks between them. You have to watch your footing! |
 |
| Looking back along the breakwater to the land. Phew! |
 |
| On both sides of the breakwater, double-crested cormorants, Phalacrocorax auritus, were diving for fish. |
 |
| Herring gulls, Larus argentatus, were swimming among the lobster buoys. This is an adult in winter plumage. |

 |
| Chipmunks were running around in the little park where the breakwater begins. This is the eastern chipmunk, Tamias striatus. |
