Hi all,

Just a few more sightings of note from me over the past seven days, in addition to what I have already posted:

- 1 drake Northern Pintail and 1 Red-necked Grebe (rare here), Winslow Park, Freeport, 2/22 (with Saturday Morning Birdwalk group).

- Four 1st-winter Glaucous Gulls and 14 Iceland Gulls (12 1st-winter and two 2nd-winter), Old Port, Portland, 2/24.

- 1 overwintering drake Northern Pintail continues along the Westbrook Riverwalk as of 2/24.

- 1 drake Barrow's Goldeneye, Webster Park, Orono, 2/25 (with Jeannette).

- 1 adult Lesser Black-backed Gull, two 1st-winter Iceland Gulls, one 2nd-winter Iceland Gull, and one 1st-winter Glaucous Gull, Hatch Hill Landfill, Augusta, 2/28.  Photo of the LBBG is here: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=785288861501070&set=a.764276326935657.1073741835.198877036808925&type=3&theater

- We seem to be down to 1 drake Barrow's Goldeneye in the Lower Harraseeket River here in South Freeport as the first wave of waterfowl migration is underway.
