[Maine-birds] Kennebec County birds - Boreal Chickadee and Lark Sparrow continue

Both of the previously reported county rarities were present today.

The Boreal Chickadee came to the suet feeder behind Apartment 5, Building 10 at Hope Way in Augusta at 11:45 this morning. The feeder is not visible from the parking lot but you can walk between Building 8 and Building 10 to get a good view of the feeder. Just follow the trail through the snow we made. The sides of both buildings have no windows so you will not be bothering anyone.

The Lark Sparrow continues at the intersection of Maple Ridge Road and Wyman Bog Road in China. The Lark Sparrow has usually been sighted on the ground beneath the feeders on the south side of the house trailer. This morning, the sparrow was on the north side beneath some feeders adjacent to the driveway at 1:15 PM. We had views from about 15 feet.  It was with several American Tree Sparrows - a "stickpin" convention!

The feeders on the south side of the trailer were hopping with a diversity of regular feeder birds. One Common Redpoll was among the dozen or so American Goldfinches.

Best,

Herb
