[Maine-birds] Additional Highlights This Week and Goose Fields Update, 11/22-28

 Hi all,

A few more of my additional sightings of note this week included:

- 100+ Horned Larks and 4 Snow Buntings, Mayall Rd, Gray/New Gloucester, 11/23.

- 1 Winter Wren and 5 Swamp Sparrows, Fort Foster, Kittery, 11/25 (with Jeannette).

- 1 Hermit Thrush, The Nubble neighborhood, Cape Neddick, 11/25 (with Jeannette).

- 4 Harlequin Ducks, The Nubble, 11/25 (with Jeannette).

- 2 Red-winged Blackbirds, Community Park, Wells, 11/25 (with Jeannette).

- 1 Common Grackle, feeders here at the store, 11/26.

And the "Greater Yarmouth Goose Fields" update this week:

- 1 GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE continues through at least 11/23. I did not find it in poor visibility in falling snow on Wednesday, and as of Friday, birds had not yet returned to the snowy fields. It could still be in the area, however, as geese will continue to filter back into the fields as snow melts over the coming days.

- the leucistic Canada Goose appears to have departed, with my last sighting of it being on 11/18.

- my high count of Canada Geese this week was 841 on 11/23.
