Re: [Maine-birds] Bird feathers from China -OT?

Thank you all for your interesting answers. I guess it's made from Chinese domestic bird feathers, including dyed ones.

I hope those folks quoted below don't mind that I did; just a few of the informative ones. How about collecting feathers from caged birds... must be OK too. Thanks for taking my question seriously. I've learned a lot.

Barbara -

Re: the decoration and feathers, you might contact our federal law enforcement officer for here on the refuge. Not sure he'd know the specifics of that case but acn certainly give you the "skinny" on who can do what. He's a great guy and has responded to other concerns before such as imported "crocodile shoes"!

There may be exceptions but the CITES treaty governs what can and cannot be imported or exported. http://www.cites.org/

The US Fish and Wildlife Service has a law enforcement branch who cover such things, if you have a concern you could contact them. They even have trained dogs that can sniff out smuggled parrots, or bear gall bladder, or rhino horn, etc.

You can't import *wild* bird feathers. Domestic bird feathers – peacock, quail, pheasant, are fine. Also widely used are white domestic bird feathers (turkey, chicken, duck) which are dyed.

Also exempt are some antiques which would have been made with wild bird feathers, such as the occasional mounted owl you might see in an antique store or the old ivory bracelet you might find.

Another dumb question.

I recently saw a quail decoration with feathers in a gift shop in Kennebunk. It is made in China.

It would be illegal in the US, as the feathers look real and varied, wouldn't it?

What is the story behind using real bird feathers in China and how do they get them. They could be dyed, but what birds?

Online it says something about synthetic feathers.

I actually bought one for my sister's birthday, since she collects "quails", our maiden name being "Partridge".

I'm thinking of taking it back; just don't like the idea.

Thanks for any help... off line probably.

[Maine-birds] Pacific Loon in Cape Elizabeth

I went out for a full moon kayak with friends last night. We launched from Kettle Cove as the sun was setting and about half way to Richmond Island came very close to an adult non-breeding Pacific Loon.

[Maine-birds] bird call id question

We heard some very unusual sounds in the afternoon~I thought at first I was hearing a neighbor's cell phone or something, but after careful listening, we are quite sure it was a bird, we just don't know what bird.

The first sound was similar to someone playing some high notes on a marimba close together and rapidly, then there was a single loud croak, and more marimba like noises but with more of a pitch variance. We did hear a Raven soon after that, and wondered if they can make these noises? I know some of their sounds are termed as "knocking" but this was much more musical than any of the recordings we've heard and not what we would call "knocking" though it was, obviously percussive. Unfortunately, the bird was in the woods behind our neighbors' house and we couldn't go exploring too much to track it down.

Thanks in advance for your help!

p.s. We also had a first for our yard today (in the 11 years we've lived here anyway)~a common nighthawk.

Re: [Maine-birds] Sandy Point/CMP resolution nearing

Hello All,

I would like to add my encouragement to Derek's request for watering. That is critical for newly planted trees (you can tell by all the publicly planted trees and shrubs that are expired or in bad shape).

Trees are putting out roots even into late fall and of course are suffering from the damage of planting no matter how well done. For even a small tree or shrub five gallons a week is probably minimal. Virtually impossible to overwater in that location which is so well drained. Anything will greatly add to the trees survival and help them get off to a good start next year.

Unfortunately I am heading out of state and will not be able to join the bucket brigade.

And thanks Derek for being such a good advocate.

This is good news for birds and birders at the point, but I now have a favor to ask. Can you help me keep these well-watered for the next few weeks? There are "water bags" at the base of each of the two trees that can easily be filled with buckets or a watering pail. A couple of local residents and I are keeping an eye on things, but if a few other people can add some water now and again - such as when you visit Sandy Point for birding - that would be most helpful.

Thanks to everyone who called CMP, the Town of Yarmouth, etc. Without those calls, I doubt the mitigation efforts would have been possible. And thank you in advance for helping these trees to survive and thrive.

[Maine-birds] Long-Billed Dowitcher@ Eastern Rd

Watched an apparent Long-Billed Dowitcher this afternoon in the pannes off the Eastern Rd trail at the Scarborough Marsh. The bird was feeding in close association with two SBDO's which gave me great views comparing birds. The presumed LBDO was visibly larger with bulging "shoulder blades", a big round belly, quite noticably longer legs and bill. Although I had pretty good views through the scope, I couldn't make out plumage differences confidently and never got a look at the underwing(s). Had a good look at the bird preening on solid land for a few minutes and the legs seemed obviously long.

Bird haahd,

Noah

[Maine-birds] very birdy

My bike ride was delayed this afternoon when I noticed all the bird activity in my yard. At least six bluebirds, mostly juveniles, some hawking bugs in the air--a new bluebird behavior for me.

They were accompanied by at least seven phoebes, lots of chipping sparrows, song sparrows, savannah sparrows, a bobolink (they hayed today, so not much cover left around here), hummingbirds, goldfinches. At one point half the bluebirds, all the phoebes, the goldfinches, and a juvenile yb sapsucker were all perched together in a mostly leafless ash tree. Crazy.

[Maine-birds] Warblers in Harmony

Currently have a small flock of juvenal YR Warblers actively hawking along the tree line. Also just spotted a couple of BTG Warblers and a ? Flycatcher. The flycatcher has a very distinct eye-ring, slender profile, and yellow/olive coloration below. Sorry, I have about as much confidence with flycatchers as I have with peeps and some sparrows. Yesterday a.m. a C Yellowthroat was working her way through the squash plants in our garden. Other current yard birds are the ever-present goldfinches and BC Chickadees, RB Nuthatches, a couple of WB Nuthatches, an immature YB Sapsucker, and a couple of B&W warblers.
