[Maine-birds] Little Blue Heron in Aroostook Co

This weekend Aaron Beechy reported a white wader had been seen by members of the Amish bird group in Hodgdon in Aroostook county.  The bird was tentatively ID'ed as a juvenile Little Blue Heron.  

I was in the area for work today and stopped in at the farm.  Aaron and the boys proudly led me to a remote farm pond to see the bird.  Though we unfortunately flushed it as we arrived, it landed on a distant snag and I was able to see the bird well enough to confirm their ID.

I believe this to be a county first and the northern-most record of the species in the state.  (Wish there was a book that had these types of state and county records listed...😉)

You can see my bad pics in the the list: https://ebird.org/atlasme/checklist/S72087710 

Can't wait to see what the tropical storm drops.

Good birding

Bill
