[Maine-birds] Re: This Week's Highlights, 7/6-12

Hi Derek,

Where is this Burnt Hill Mtn.?  I'd be interested in seeing those thrushes if it's not to hard a hike.  Thanks.

Hi all,

My observations of note over the past seven days included the following:

- Glossy Ibis reports continue from Cumberland to Durham to Brunswick. Jeannette and I had a nice dusk flight of them over Thompson's Point in Portland on 7/6 as they returned to the colony on Stratton Island.

-  24+ occupied nests in Purple Martin colony on Depot Road in Belgrade, 7/8 (with Jeannette). This is a new high count since our project to restore this colony began.

- 5 male Green-winged Teal, etc, Carrabassett Valley Snowfluent Ponds, 7/8-9 (with Jeannette). Post-breeding dispersal/molt migration regularly brings some here in mid summer.

- 9+ Bicknell's Thrushes, 9+ Blackpoll Warblers, etc, Burnt Hill (Mountain), 7/9 (with Jeannette). 

- 12 Short-billed Dowitchers (First of Fall), 4 Lesser Yellowlegs (FOF), and 1 Greater Yellowlegs (first fall migrant), Wharton Point, Brunswick, 7/11.

- 1 Red-breasted Merganser, Simpson's Point, Brunswick, 7/11.

-Derek
