[Maine-birds] This Week's Highlights, 12/21-24

Hi all,

I apparently forgot to send this before we headed out of town for the holidays.  I apologize to Freeport-Brunswick CBC teams that may of found some value in these local reports.

Just a handful of sightings of note from the past four days:

- 6 Greater Scaup, Madeleine Point, Cousin's Island, Yarmouth, 12/21 (with Saturday Morning Birdwalk group).

- 1 Northern Flicker, Cousin's Island, 12/21 (with Saturday Morning Birdwalk group).

- 9 Iceland Gulls (seven first-winter, 1 1st/2nd, 1 2nd/3rd) and 3 1st-winter Glaucous Gulls, Old Port, Portland, 12/23.

- 3 drake Barrow's Goldeneyes are now present in the Lower Harraseeket River in South Freeport, usually in view between Winslow Park and the Freeport Town Wharf.

- the merganser "hat trick" continues from Grist Mill Park in Yarmouth.

Happy Holidays,

-Derek
