I spent the day in the woods east of Moosehead Lake, searching for interesting habitats within easy reach of Spencer Pond Camps. Some of the day’s totals:
Gray Jays: 5
Boreal Chickadees: 13
Red Crossbills: 7
White-winged Crossbills: 7
(OK. I’m fudging on the crossbills. They were all flyovers and I’m guesstimating my IDs.)
Pine Grosbeaks: 7 (always in ones and twos – no big flocks.)
American Pipit: 1
Bohemian Waxwing: 1 (Darn near ran him over. He was in the road as I rounded a corner. He emitted the lower/slower reedy whistle just as he avoided my right front tire.)
Northern Goshawks: 2
Ruffed Grouse: 6 live, 2 not so live. (It’s still hunting season.)
Warblers: ZERO!
Moose: 1 (BIG!)
There was a nice assemblage of mergansers on Little Spencer Pond: roughly ten each of Common and Hooded. Nice raft.
