[Maine-birds] Re: Northern Shoveler, Monhegan, 10/1

I don't know if this is a help or a hindrance, but-- we had three Northern Shovelers on 4/08/17, two males and one female. They were here for several days, and gave us good sightings in the meadow behind the store. Sorry we're not better at official reporting! Fortunately, Lisa Brackett made a note in her bird guide that day, so we were able to look up the date.

Great sighting. Yes, this is the first record for Monhegan - no historical records. Wish we were still there.

Hi all,

For the few birders still on the island that we haven't run into today: Jeannette and I found a female NORTHERN SHOVELER on the Ice Pond this morning. This appears to be the first record for Monhegan (none in eBird and not on the Vickery checklist).

Female KING EIDER might be the only continuing rarity as of today.
