MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • April 28, 2024
A paddling outing on Berry and Dexter ponds astride the Winthrop-Wayne town line is a wonderful way to spend a blue-sky April morning. We enjoyed a three-hour exploration of these small ponds this past Sunday, seeing only one other boater. Both Berry and Dexter ponds provide sweeping views to the east of the forested slopes of Mount Pisgah. It had been a day of many “first sightings” of the spring. True to the theme of the day, when we neared home, we were greeted by a pair of osprey just returned to the neighborhood nest. All was complete. ~ Michael Perry
