[Maine-birds] Sabattus Pond - Oct 28 (and Bowdoinham sparrows)

Dark but spectacular viewing conditions. FAC and the birds slowly changing from drifting to feeding to loafing modes. Used my window-mount to scope them as they drifted by.

Much the same as previous days, (600-700 Ruddy Ducks, 200+ Scaup, solo H. Grebe), but dipped on Redheads and Canvasbacks. Also no sign of Ring-necked Ducks. I did not check the NW part of the pond, however.

I looked through well-over 300 sparrows in the weedy fields on Browns Point Road, (Bowdoinham), but no premium species or dickcissels. Despite the heavy construction project ongoing, there are birds-a-plenty.
