[Maine-birds] Freeport Bohemian Waxwings

Hi all,

A nice incursion of BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS has descended on the greater Freeport area over the last few days. It began with 64 here at the store on 3/16, where at least 20 continue as of this morning.

Yesterday, Zane Baker and I had about 50 at the Pine Tree Academy on Pownal Road, and this morning 130+ were present!

Zane and I also had about 30 on Rossmore Road in Brunswick yesterday morning, and he's had a few visits from them at the Bradbury Mountain Hawkwatch.

Meanwhile, Dan Nickerson and Jeannette have been seeing them in power line cuts and vicinity in Durham and Pownal, respectively.

This late-March occurrence in the area is nearly annual, fueled by an abundance of late season crabapples and Common Juniper.
