[Maine-birds] Saco River (From Camp Ellis to Water Street)

The river is pretty iced up below the falls but the ice that is breaking up is coming down to the ocean in sheets.  So its funny to watch the ducks and gulls float down on the ice.  I was pleasantly surprised to find the wigeons in with the geese and mallards at Camp Ellis and to find a Yellow-Rumped Warbler across from the water treatment plant.  I'll post images on my blog in the next few days.
