The Canada Goose flock at Collins Pond in Caribou now numbers over 1,800 with a big tick upward in the numbers over the weekend. Among the new arrivals were two adult and one juvenile Greater White-fronted Geese. They appeared to be of the Greenland subspecies. They arrived just in time for the Aroostook Birders' visit tomorrow at 10:30 AM.
Northern Shovelers, Green-winged Teal, Hooded Mergs and Blacks and Mallards were also feeding in the pond. I couldn't find a Blue-winged Teal but that doesn't mean they're gone. A lone Lesser Yellowlegs was the sole shorebird thanks in part to higher water levels from the weekends rain.
At my feeders in Woodland, the White-throated Sparrows have mostly departed and have been replaced by 20+ White-crowned Sparrows. Still a few Yellow-rumped Warblers feeding on this sunny afternoon. Six Evening Grosbeaks visited again this AM.
