[Maine-birds] Mating eagles but no blackbirds at Messalonskee Marsh

Hi folks,

We to Messalonskee Marsh this afternoon to look for blackbirds.  I searched for about 1 1/2 hrs but came up empty.  The only excitement for the day was a pair of Bald Eagles mating on the ice (presumed male on left side).  I was a distant Buteo hovering very high over the ice but could not get my bins on it in time.  I also did not see any waterfowl although the lake is mostly frozen.

The place was pretty quiet except for the flock of 25 or so English sparrows along the road paralleling the marsh (on the other side of the railroad tracks).

Good birding,

Norm Famous
