[Maine-birds] Maine Christmas Bird Count Dates

Hi everyone:

With the beginning of the 118th Christmas Bird Count just a couple weeks away, I wanted to share this year's list of Maine counts:

https://www.maineaudubon.org/birding/christmas-bird-count/

There are still a few counts that I haven't heard dates from coordinators yet but I will update this list as those dates become known or if any rescheduled snow days are needed.

Also, the summary of the 117th CBC is available online at: http://www.audubon.org/summary-117th-christmas-bird-count-2016-2017. Nice to see Maine pulling in high counts for: Red-necked Grebe (271 at Bath-Phippsburg-Georgetown), Purple Sandpiper (451 at Biddeford-Kennebunkport), Thick-billed Murre (2 at Schoodic Point), Black Guillemot (82 at Eastport), and Dickcissel tied with four other state (1 at Biddeford-Kennebunkport).

Good birding,
