Re: [Maine-birds] Babies, babies, and more babies.

Brown Thrashers have been frequent visitors this summer to jelly we set out on our deck. On June 20th they were in the yard with young. Now there appears to be a second brood with a begging juvenile sitting by the jelly dish and an adult constantly stuffing dab after dab of jelly into its mouth. Big baby, busy mama.

Good Birding,

John

Re: [Maine-birds] Babies, babies, and more babies.

I watched golden crowned kinglets feeding babies this week up in Perry. No idea if that's normal for this time of year or not up there.

[Maine-birds] Re: Whimbrels have returned

Can you tell us the best place be to view these birds where there maybe public access? Thank you.

At last, today - on the same date as last year - 35 Whimbrel showed up on the mudflats of Flat Bay, Harrington, during the daytime low tide. Our experience of the last 6 years tells us that there will be a larger number of birds coming in during the next 5-7 days. I am unsure if we will ever see the 169 Whimbrel we observed in one flock in 2014, but we can always hope...

Other shorebirds are dribbling in - flocks of 200+ Semipalmated Sandpipers with smaller numbers of Semipalmated Plover, Short-billed Dowitchers and Black-bellied Plover. August is the big month on Flat Bay with thousands of shorebirds feeding on the flats.

[Maine-birds] Young Catharus sp + Crossbills at Frog Alley

Hi all,

Yesterday I was birding at Frog Alley in Fryeburg, and I came across 3 young Catharus sp. I am not totally sure what they are, but my best guess is a young Veery. The only other thrushes that I observed along the way were Robins (adult and young), and a very young Hermit Thrush. Photo's in checklist linked below.

I also came across a group of Red Crossbills. However, I only got a good look at 2 of them, and I am not totally sure that every bird in the group was a Red Crossbill. I recorded a couple of calls that I did not recognize as Crossbill calls, however I have only seen Crossbills a few other times in my life so maybe it's a common call that I just don't recognize. If anyone knows what the call is I would love to know your thoughts.

Some additional highlights of the trip are a great look at a Northern Waterthrush along with 7 other Warbler species, two Yellow-Throated Vireos (one seen and the other both seen and heard), a great look at a male Indigo Bunting, a female Hooded Merganser, an American Bittern Flyover, a Savannah Sparrow and many other species.

https://ebird.org/atlasme/checklist/S71961045

Many thanks and happy birding,

Reed

Re: [Maine-birds] Carolina Wren, Harpswell, ME 7/29/20

I confirmed this evening that Carolina wrens are working on their third brood in our Berwick yard this year. With this kind of productivity and fewer brutal winters to knock them back, they'll lose that "rare" status pretty quickly, I'd guess.

We've lived here 20 years, but the wrens were not here at first. Gradually, they went from now and then to regular to permanent. Through 2012, they were mostly around September to March. In May 2013, I spotted a family moving through. In 2015 they nested in or near our yard. Over the past 6 years, I have failed to note them during only 1 month and that might have been due to my laziness.

This year they had fledglings before the Maine bird atlas "safe date," got a second nest going in the first week of June, fledged those young July 4/5, and have 4 eggs in nest three. They've gotten bolder through the season. I don't know where the first nest was, but the second was in our garage and the third is in a planter on our porch. (They get pretty mad when it's time to water.)

Hey Bob,

Interesting on the crossbills. My atlas work around Waldo county has turned up flyovers fairly frequently during the last week also. Hope that this may mean that we could get more around this fall!

Good birding,

I detect a change of season. For the third time this morning, I've heard a handful of red crossbills overhead here on the north end of Pushaw Lake in Hudson. They're certainly around this summer. I've been getting them on my bird atlas surveys farther north. But they haven't been noisy around here until just now.

Meanwhile, a family of white-breasted nuthatches continues to chow down on my suet, with parents feeding young. This is 5+ weeks after nuthatch families were first detected milling around here. According to online literature, nuthatches raise only one brood per year. So either this is an unlikely second brood, or a late re-nest, or really, really dependent children. Since, the family-feeding activity wasn't detected again until recently, I'm going with the re-nest scenario.

[Maine-birds] Re: Red crossbills

Yes, same in Kennebec County over the last week, and two weeks ago in southern Oxford County. There's a big white pine cone crop around here with lots of green cones. Maybe some of the crossbills will breed in white pine groves in central and southern Maine for their late-summer breeding cycle. That would be exciting.

Re: [Maine-birds] Carolina Wren, Harpswell, ME 7/29/20

I had a pair that stayed all winter here in Jefferson from November until May. I'm hoping they show back up this year

[Maine-birds] Swallow Swarm

Nice morning to visit the Pushaw Lake inlet marsh in Hudson. I was greeted by a swarm of around 150 swallows. The majority were tree, but there was a healthy percentage of bank and barn, and a handful of cliff.

At the same time, there was a black-billed cuckoo calling incessantly from the treeline.

[Maine-birds] Re: Red crossbills

Hey Bob,

Interesting on the crossbills. My atlas work around Waldo county has turned up flyovers fairly frequently during the last week also. Hope that this may mean that we could get more around this fall!

Good birding,

tom

I detect a change of season. For the third time this morning, I've heard a handful of red crossbills overhead here on the north end of Pushaw Lake in Hudson. They're certainly around this summer. I've been getting them on my bird atlas surveys farther north. But they haven't been noisy around here until just now.

Meanwhile, a family of white-breasted nuthatches continues to chow down on my suet, with parents feeding young. This is 5+ weeks after nuthatch families were first detected milling around here. According to online literature, nuthatches raise only one brood per year. So either this is an unlikely second brood, or a late re-nest, or really, really dependent children. Since, the family-feeding activity wasn't detected again until recently, I'm going with the re-nest scenario.
