[Maine-birds] Oriole in Egypt

Yesterday, Nov. 18, Jerry Smith and I took a trip downeast to see the Pink-footed Goose in Cherryfield.  We stopped in Egypt, Me at a house on the corner of HWY182 and the Goodwin Road where the homeowners are feeding cracked corn to a large number of Mallards, American Black Ducks and Canada Geese.  At feeders in their front yard we briefly saw an oriole which flew to the top of a Poplar tree and sat there for a few minutes. Unfortunately we could not get a clear view of anything but the underside.  I believe it was an immature/female type Baltimore Oriole but can't be sure.  If any one goes by that area it might be a good idea to check for this bird.  An imm. Baltimore Oriole continues to come to our feeders at the end of Kaler St. in Winterport as well.

Good Birding,
John
