[Maine-birds] Northern Maine Birds: Leach's Storm-Petrel, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Red Crossbill

The first couple weeks of November have produced some great birds in Northern Maine.

Best among them was a Leach's Storm-Petrel that was found in Mapleton over the weekend.  This was a first ever record for Aroostook county.  The bird was found in the mouth of dog (!) and narrowly missed becoming a specimen.  It is now recuperating at Avian Haven.

A Red-bellied Woodpecker and a Red Crossbill are visiting feeders on opposite ends of Presque Isle.

I posted some pictures of these and others on the Northern Maine Birds blog

Cheers

Bill
