Happy New Year everybody,
I saw a late Turkey Vulture while driving on Canco Rd in Portland later this afternoon. At the Fore River, there were 3 drake Green-Winged Teals and 8 Hooded Mergansers. I ran into Leon Mooney behind Paulin's Tire where we saw the Barrow's Goldeneye and then headed across the street to the carwash where we saw the hen American Wigeon and 2 drake Northern Pintails along with a hen. I saw that Rob Speirs posted 3 drake NOPI's which would mean that at least 4 of this species were here today. Then we headed to Hannaford at Mill Creek where we sifted through a flock of gulls and found 5 Iceland Gulls (all appeared to be in their 1st winter) and one 3rd winter? Glaucous Gull (pink bill with black tip, pale iris, and light gray upperparts). I photographed all of the white-winged gulls, however, I am not 100% certain that we got a look at all of the Iceland Gulls' bills and eyes as the majority of the gulls were roosting. Judging by their plumage, they all appeared to be the same age.
Bird haahd,
Noah Gibb-Portland
