I had the pleasure of leading a quick van trip to Biddeford Pool this morning and wanted to get the word out about a few lingering rarities that anyone out birding this weekend may want to know about:
SNOWY OWL (SNOW) - single bird sitting among the lobster traps on Beach Island, viewed from Ocean Ave.
Ruddy Turnstone - roosting by a Great Cormorant on Beach Island; also ~200 Purple Sandpipers flushed off the east side of the island
HOODED WARBLER (HOWA) - the young male was very cooperative at South Point Sanctuary, off 7th St, and the adult male was reportedly seen earlier in the morning.
apparent "AUDUBON'S" YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER (AUWA) - seems to be continuing at South Point Sanctuary since the 13th; we had brief views of this yellow-throated individual by the Hooded Warbler (right of the kiosk) but the Yellow-rumps seemed to be doing more foraging around the edge of Great Pond.
Gray Catbird - getting late for this species; very vocal at South Point Sanctuary
Good birding,
