Hello All,
Along with my monthly river survey scouted a few other locations, yesterday.
Long-tailed Duck continues on Androscoggin River below Great Falls Lewiston/Auburn.
American Woodcock observed doing that slow shimmy thing that they do along North River Road, Auburn. I had always thought that this might be a way of disturbing prey in the soil as a way of foraging but this bird was doing it as it walked away from me. Also flock of 45 Bohemian Waxwings in flight.
High pitched calls of Snow Geese alerted me to the presence of at least 400 flying very high overhead over North River Road. There could have been many more as I had a difficult time locating them and some had passed before I could count.
Bald Eagles appeared not to have eggs or young yet but both on nest adjusting nest material.
An hour of hawk-watching on Upper Road Turner yielded one Red-tailed Hawk apparently migrating, eight Turkey Vultures and one dark eagle at a distance that I could not conclusively identify that descended into some trees on the far side of a hill.
FOY Grackle and Red-winged Blackbirds on Bowie HIll Road in Durham and a lone Northern Shrike on Davis Road in same spot I had observed on a month ago in the fields a few hundred yards southwest of the junction with Bowie Hill Road.
