A single, iridescent common grackle was on the ground under our seed feeder this morning in West Kennebunk.

[Maine-birds] Re: 2 eagle pair bonding

I saw a pair in Randolph yesterday as well! Bald Eagles can often be seen quite closely on either side of Wiscasset Rd (Rt 27) near the ice cream shop. As I drove through yesterday afternoon a pair was spiraling VERY LOW right over the cars and buildings around the IGA. It was unbelievable sight!

Suddenly we heard high-pitched sounds and at the same time two Herring gulls in the water started a ruckus over nothing obvious. So, we looked up, and saw 2 pair of adult Bald Eagles high above us, above the harbor. Each pair member was spiraling with its partner, occasionally gliding to a new spot, in tandem, to spiral some more. Then one pair headed south together. The other stayed in the sky above the harbor for some time. It was a magnificent sight :)
Double date? ;)

[Maine-birds] tundra swan photos

Anyone have a photo of the recent tundra swans in Scarborough Marsh that they would be willing to share for our Boothbay Register column?

[Maine-birds] Cowbirds have joined the flock

We have had a flocks of at least 200 starlings, grackles and redwings visit the yard, trees and feeders daily this past week or so, but today we have cowbirds mixed in as well.
