[Maine-birds] Black Swan

Hi everyone,

The Black Swan (I concur with the ID for the time being) reported by Jonah Levy continues. Last seen from Portland Head Light but very far out. Scope would be essential I'm guessing, and even then it is hard to pick up on given the distance. When I left it, it seemed to be in a holding pattern roughly in line with (and between) the two red channel markers to the southeast, from the position of the lighthouse itself. Let yourself be gullible and thoroughly investigate every buoy!

The refrain in my head the last few days has been "all I want for Christmas is a Dovekie". But, ok, I'll settle for a Black Swan!

Thanks Jonah for the prompt report! I left home without any device, so made a beeline back to get the word out.
