[Maine-birds] Mew, etc...

The Mew Gull was present at the Owls Head lobster pens from 10:30-11:00 this morning. It stayed near the shore on the far left for most of our visit, but was easy enough to pick out from the Ring-billed Gulls. That’s Maine bird #325 for me, which means I need only another 20 or so to catch up with Kristen Lindquist and achieve rarity parity.

 

An hour spent waiting for the Bullock’s Oriole proved fruitless, though the owners admitted it had been present just before we arrived.

 

A flock of 120 Cedar Waxwings in downtown Belfast was admired for a while, before the flock was suddenly dispersed by a sneak attacking Sharp-shinned Hawk.
