Today Jay Adams and I birded around Scarborough, Saco, and Biddeford area looking for recently seen Cave Swallows and the Orange-crowned Warbler.
We couldn't find the Cave Swallows - too cold and no bugs out in the rack anywhere checked (Kettle Cove, Biddeford Pool Beach, Pine Point); but we finally found the ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER in bittersweet vines and thick brush at the "corner" on the trail behind the Sewage Treatment Plant along the River in Saco. (We assumed it was the same location where Louis Bevier and Don Mairs had found it on Sunday) Also seen there were: 1 Palm Warbler, 3 Yellow-rumps; both RC and GC Kinglets, both Carolina and Winter Wren, several Tree Sparrows; for a total of 25 species at that one location this afternoon.
Other highlights today were: Ruddy Turnstones and Purple Sandpipers at Biddeford Pool Point and 3 late Black-bellied Plovers at Jones Creek, Pine Point.
