[Maine-birds] Water St - Saco Update...

The Drake Barrows Goldeneye is still here almost all day, everyday.  There are between 3 an d5 CoGos here regularly.  The river was icing up above and below the falls here and that led to a lot more activity in this stretch of open water, but with the warm spell and the rain I haven't seen  the Ring-Necked Ducks or the Common Mergansers for the past three days. 

The Great Cormorant made an appearance yesterday, briefly, but that was the only time I have seen it since Monday.

I haven't seen the Peregrine yet this week.


The Mallards have been spending more time up this way (there is a large group at the little "island" park down the street.  One is a Mallard X Black, there are a couple of American Black Ducks, and one Hen Mallard that is for the lack of a better description, rather "blond."

If you are interested in heading up this way, feel free to contact me for directions, parking info or good vantage points.

My Best,
Chuck
