[Maine-birds] Re: Varied Thrush in Milford
Julie Vaillancourt has had a VARIED THRUSH visiting her yard on the Penobscot River multiple times daily this week. It's feasting on mealworms, and also seems to enjoy the bits of cooked hamburger and hard-boiled eggs she puts out for the crows. Linda Powell and I got great views on Monday, and Linda has posted pictures on eBird. Julie welcomes interested birders to come see it, but requests that you call her first at 745-9540 if you'd like to visit. She can give you the address and directions for parking when you call.

[Maine-birds] Sears Island
According to NRCM promotional material, the purpose of this meeting is "to hear directly from you about your priorities for a clean energy future and any questions you may have about port development and the future of offshore wind in Maine."
To date, NRCM and other sponsors of this meeting publicly indicate that they either (a) don't care where the offshore wind manufacturing, assembling and launching facility is built or (b) outright prefer Sears Island because it has room for economic expansion.
Please join us next Saturday to let NRCM and the other meeting sponsors know that selecting the site for any offshore wind facility must adopt the least environmentally damaging plan, favor repurposing the outdated and unused industrial site at Mack Point, avoid damaging undeveloped and ecologically significant land on Sears Island, and evaluate thoroughly the impacts on climate change, wildlife and fisheries.
Urge NRCM to adopt the position that, if Maine pursues building an offshore wind facility in Penobscot Bay, Mack Point is the preferred alternative because that location is best for business, best for the environment and best for the State of Maine.
Please call 207-734-6907 or write iitsmill@gmail.com if you have any questions.
Best.

We had 11 species with new high counts, some dramatically so, as well as 2 new species: 1 Fish Crow and the continuing Spotted Towhee. There were 250 Gannets (previous high 159 in 2009), and 1408 Black Scoters (previous high 980). 14 Dovekies showed up, just 2 less than our previous high. We also had an explosion of wrens: 10 Winter Wrens (previous high 3), 46 Carolina Wrens (previous high 28), and our 1 House Wren is the first seen since 1996. Blackbirds were also plentiful, with 55 Red-winged Blackbirds (previous high 9), 22 Rusty Blackbirds (previous high 5), and 42 Grackles (previous high 16 in 1993). There were 17 Red Crossbills (previous high 7), 5 Pine Warblers (previous high 3), and 35 Golden-crowned Kinglets tied our previous high from 1998. We also had one new low: 6 Common Goldeneye (previous low 19).
Thank you to everyone who participated. It was a bit of a crazy year, but you got it done!
