[Maine-birds] B-n Stilt, Wh-f Ibises, hybrid heron (HYHO) at Scarborough Marsh 29 Jun; Great White Heron - no

Saturday, 29 June
Scarborough Marsh, Eastern Trail:
Black-necked Stilt - male continues (afternoon in the pannes; Seurat should have painted this)
White-faced Ibis - two that looked like the same birds since 17 April (afternoon on high tide)
Tricolored Heron - in wing molt but still spiffy
Tricolored x Snowy - flew over trail 9:20 a.m.; then in Rt 1 pools 11:20 a.m.
This is the same hybrid heron found by Marshall Iliff 3 June

Seaside Sparrow - 2 singing birds (one banded; one not)
4 Short-billed Dowitchers, 2 Lesser Yellowlegs, and 1 Greater Yellowlegs out there too

Wells, Webhannet marsh:
Four of us searched the area but failed to find the reported Great White Heron. It was low tide and even the big herons were frequently dropping out of sight into deep channels. Bad time to look. There also was a flood tide of NY, CT, MA, and NH license plates.
