[Maine-birds] Additional Highlights This Week, 2/2-8

Hi all,

My sightings of note from the past seven days, not previously reported here, include:

 

- 2 continuing adult BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT-HERONS, Freeport Yacht Club, 2/2 (with Saturday Morning Birdwalk group).

- 1 HOARY REDPOLL (or perhaps I should says a bird that perfectly fits our current definition of what constitutes a Hoary Redpoll?), private feeder in Bowdoinham, 2/4.  Bird arrived on 1/30 with a flock of 75-100 Commons. Photos here:
