[Maine-birds] Bremen birds this week

Well, the weather was terrible but the incoming birds to the back yard were good - male Rose-Breasted Grosbeak for 3 days, 3 Baltimore Orioles, 3 hummingbirds, a black-throated blue warbler, purple finch pair, a yellow-bellied sapsucker, and two Bobolinks! Dare I mention the uptick in grey squirrels, red squirrels, and yes, chipmunks!

[Maine-birds] Repeat Presumpscot River feeding frenzy

Eagles, ospreys, herons, and hundreds upon hundreds of cormorants feeding in the river and standing around in close-packed scrums on the Presumpscot mud flats adjacent to Middle Road in Falmouth. Activity occurs in pulses as fresh schools of fish are spotted. Best and only safe place to pull over and observe is traveling north on Middle Road just before the bridge on the right. -- Maine birds mailing list maine-birds@googlegroups.com http://groups.google.com/group/maine-birds https://sites.google.com/site/birding207 ---...

A purple finch has been around as well.
