The American Black Duck

While this photo was not taken on Great Bay, the American Black Duck does frequent the area.
Michael Furtman, the photographer, has such amazing photos of this rare bird we had to share for inspiration.
We are hoping YOU can get a local image of this rare species and send it our way!

Another incredible photo from one of the
best wildlife photographers, Michael Furtman.

Wooly Gingerbread Monster

While we are not entirely sure which species this represents,
it was spotted at the Great Bay 5K, our annual road race
fundraiser that helps to support the operations of the Great Bay Stewards.

Wild Coyote

While we are not entirely sure which species of canine this may be,
it is believed to be a wild coyote spotted near the Bay by David Mueller.
It’s a big pup!

Horseshoe Crabs!

Horseshoe crabs love the Great Bay! These
amazing, prehistoric crabs are always a
treat to see. Did you know they have blue blood
and are important for research at UNH?
