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.
Many thanks and happy birding,
Reed
