This Sunday aft. showed a few migrants coming thru in W.Kennebunk; teased out one oriole, one RB Grosbeak and two red eyed vireos in the tree tops with the resident re-emerging chickadees and woodpeckers. Have had a pair of Green Herons on the river here(Cat Mousam)for the first time. On Friday sighted hundreds of tree swallows near Granite Pt.Rd and Rte. 9 in Biddeford at 8 A.M., then nearly a thousand on the corner of Goose Rocks Rd. and Guinea road in Kennebunkport at 4:45 P.M.-they covered utility wires and coated a nearby tree when they would land-an awesome sight!
Fish crow question: Can the "unhh unhh" call that I hear on the Univ. of New Eng. Biddeford campus be safely said to be that of a fish crow as opposed to an immature American Crow? I never have the time to watch for them(not that it would help!) but thought it might be a safe bet now as opposed to April thru July or would that be too easy?!
Thanks and enjoy the holiday, Sharon in West K.
