[Maine-birds] GOEA was a yes today

Hi all -- thanks to the birding communities updates, and Louis Bevier's really helpful strategic suggestions, I located the Golden Eagle today on Peavey Road. I was westbound on Peavey Rd, heading toward River Road, and had just past fields full of Am. Crows and Rock Pigeons. Then, just beyond the first farm compound that straddles Peavey Rd., I spotted a perched eagle ahead, in a tree across the next pasture on the left (S) side...

[Maine-birds] Water St - Saco Update...

The Drake Barrows Goldeneye is still here almost all day, everyday.  There are between 3 an d5 CoGos here regularly.  The river was icing up above and below the falls here and that led to a lot more activity in this stretch of open water, but with the warm spell and the rain I haven't seen  the Ring-Necked Ducks or the Common Mergansers for the past three days.  The Great Cormorant made an appearance yesterday,...

Re: [Maine-birds] Fwd: Augusta birds 1-29-13

The crows have been mobbing in my backyard for weeks now, every afternoon at 4:30.  The kids are a little creeped out.  I'm not much good at counting flocks, but I'd estimate that at times we have over 500, in all the bare trees on the hill that supports the Thomas Hill Standpipe.  They do not roost here for the night, but they reappear before dawn.  They are much quieter then. I have long suspected that Hitchcock...

[Maine-birds] Fwd: Augusta birds 1-29-13

Hi,I hit the wrong key before finishing.  The list is not exceptional but the site has great potential for less common species, especially in late morning and early afternoon.  They are not always present but it only takes a few minutes to check out the site.  The viewing conditions are great in that you can mount your scope on your vehicle window and leisurely scan them as they sit on the ice or float by while...

[Maine-birds] Bowdoinham redpolls and waxwings

I have had redpolls on the farm, sporadically since the end of December, in flocks of 25 since mid-January, but today there are at least 50 in the front yard feeders, more in the back. 40 Bohemian waxwings January 28 and 29. Two pileated woodpeckers chasing each other last week. -- -- Maine birds mailing list maine-birds@googlegroups.com http://groups.google.com/group/maine-birds https://sites.google.com/site/birding207 ---...
