West Quoddy Head Light House is one of our favorites places to visit. The setting is spectacular. This is not a place to
visit if you are in a hurry because there is so much to experience. On the day we visited, the weather could not have been
better. We sat on a park bench on the light house grounds and watched birds fly in and out of the tall pine trees just
behind us. We also enjoyed our own little whale watching adventure without leaving land. We had read that this was a
great place to watch birds and for whale watching, and we found that to be true. Even though we are not into watching
birds or even whale watching, we really enjoyed it. Behind us in a tall pine tree was a young male eagle. I later learned it
was a young eagle because its head was dark and not white, a sign of its youth. There were so many different birds
flying in and out of the trees, birds we didn’t recognize. And after hiking up the coast a bit, we lounged on the rocks and
enjoyed whale watching for at least an hour. The travel guides did not overstate how good the whale watching is at this
location.
