Ira Sanders of Golden, CO and I relocated the Pink-footed Goose about 11:30 AM today. It was in a new place, in a field on the west side of Rte. 1 between Milbridge and Cherryfield, fairly close to Cherryfield. While we were watching, the flock broke up and flew away in 4 separate groups, in the direction of the Willey District Rd. fields. We followed them there, but there were only two groups of geese there and the PFG was not among them.
Other birds seen:
Pine Grosbeak (8-9, in a tree where the PFG was sighted)
Northern Shrike (1, checking out the feeders in my yard, first one I've seen by the house)
Common Redpoll (10 at the feeders, except that one broke its neck running into the picture window when something spooked them; a very sad end to an otherwise great morning)
