[Maine-birds] Goose Fields - North Yarmouth, Cumberland, Falmouth

Wet "goose" fields delayed mowing until recently. Most fields have now been cut and some harvested. The dry weather through the weekend should allow most of the remaining fields to be harvested.. 

300 + geese were at Thornhurst Farm in North Yarmouth late yesterday, and again this morning along with two freshly arrived Snow Geese. 

Idelknot Farm on Woodville Rd in Falmouth has been hosting upwards of 200+ geese.  Most of their fields are waiting for cut hay to dry with the expectation they will be harvested by this weekend.

Mayall Rd Fields in Gray have a large central expanse of open land flanked on each side by rows of standing corn some of which is being harvested today. Although there were only few geese in the far back end of the field, they should start piling in once the corn is harvested, the machinery gone with the ground up remnants of the harvest scattered about.

It'll only get better!
