[Maine-birds] Winterport Birds

It's interesting how active the birds at the feeders normally are that
when one isn't it kind of looks peculiar. This morning, a Black-
capped Chickadee sitting motionless in a birch by our deck and the
lack of any birds coming to the feeders made me wonder if a hawk was
nearby. I checked around and spotted a Cooper's perched up in a
nearby oak. Then in the afternoon, a similar occurrence with a
"frozen" Red-breasted Nuthatch sitting on the edge of a window feeder
with no other birds visible made me think a hawk was around again.
Spotted not a hawk but a Northern Shrike in the top of a nearby tree,
my first shrike this winter.

And, a Baltimore Oriole continues to come to our feeders at the end of
Kaler Street.

Good Birding,
John
