Hidden gem

My husband and I have stayed on Mackerel Cove four times within the last eight years. Yes, it is a hidden gem and one of our favorite areas of Maine. (See “A summer in Maine’s ‘hidden gem’,” October.) We hope it remains a hidden gem and does not become so popular that it becomes overcrowded and overpriced. We have seen this happen to another favorite of ours: Rockport, Massachusetts. Keep Harpswell a gem!

Observations on the field

Recently, while walking Mitchell Field with my dog, I took an informal bird count. On the lower field, I chalked up a bobolink sighting right off the bat. These seasonal migrant birds are endangered and need the open meadows for raising their young.

Great job on Hiking Challenge

I'd like to thank the folks at the Harpswell Heritage Land Trust and Harpswell Recreation for the great job they did running this year's Harpswell Hiking Challenge. It was nice to see so many families out vying to complete the full eight-trail challenge or the modified four-trail challenge.

Adapting to the times

Relative to your November piece on clam harvesters, five or six years ago, when we were living in Freeport, there was a study done in Casco Bay on the decline of the clam population, I believe by the University of Maine.

A better product!

The town of Harpswell is in the process of fixing and updating the road on which I live. Town planners, architects and contractors have begun to create a reality that will be an improvement.
